Abstract
A line scan apparatus having a linear array of objective lenses which pair up with an associated linear array of optical sensors. The apparatus further comprises a bundle of tapering optical fibers which optically couple the pairs of objective lenses and optical sensors. Each fiber is arranged such that it optically couples at a wide end to one of the objective lens, and at a narrow end to one of the optical sensor. In operation, the linear array of objective lenses are scanned across the object, with the linear array of optical sensors capturing a one dimensional image line by line to build up a two dimensional image of the object.
