Abstract
A scanner utilizing an illuminating device, monochromatic light sources, and scanning elements to improve the color separation and reduce color crosstalk for generating chrominance component signals. The illumination device illuminates or transilluminates an image by means of the monochromatic light sources. The scanning elements converts the light obtained from the illuminated or transilluminated image into a chrominance component signal. The illumination device is implemented in such a way that the monochromatic light sources illuminate the film frame at positions which are separated from each other. Sensors are arranged in such a way that they are illuminated by the relevant associated light source.
