Optics: light and reflections resources
Posted: 05 Jan 2018, 15:40
Hello,
I have read at least two threads and watched an online video about which angle is better for a V shaped platen design, and problems had with reflections. I wanted to learn more about the topic, regardless of the scanner build-design and found these resources, which might also be of interest to others:
1. Optics: Light, Color, and Their Uses Educator Guide
https://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducat ... Guide.html
Of which: Reflection of Light With Two Plane Mirrors - Double Mirrors Placed at a Number of Angles might be of interest for those with V-shaped designs.

2. Ray Optics Simulator (by github user rictu288)
https://ricktu288.github.io/ray-optics/simulator/ Which will let you simulate light sources, positions, etc.
Cheers,
P.S. I wasn't sure where to post it, so it ended up in here.
