Orbital scanner

A orbital scanner is a type of image scanner for making scans of rare books and other easily damaged documents. In essence, such a scanner is a mounted camera taking photos of a well-lit environment. Orbital scanners tend to touch fewer parts of a book, and provide an option of only opening a book partially.
