Could you please tell more about those "USB 3.0 Industrial Cameras with 13 Megapixel each" which are included in the "just electronics" package? I had been looking for such, but found only cameras geared towards video, not stills. Added somewhat later: I found it on your website:...

After writing my initial post, I came to the conclusion that the best is a vertical look on the page, a 90° view or a 0° angle of view. That's what a scanner does with its moving bar of sensors. But when using a camera, additional constraints have to be considered, as duerig explained. Theoretically...

I tried your images wich Scan Tailor Advanced...
