Sir Godfrey Hounsfield invented the computer tomograph (CT). He conceived the idea in 1967.
Working for EMI (yes, that's the music label), he constructed the EMI scanner Mark 1 in 1971.
Initially, the scanner was constructed to perform brain scans only. The first scan was performed on a 41 year old lady who was shown to have a cystic tumor in the frontal lobe.
40 years ago, in 1979, Godfrey Hounsfield was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine, together with Alan M. Cormack. His name is eternally preserved in the density scale for CT imaging, which is measured in Hounsfield units (HU) and scaled between air (-1000 HU) and water (0 HU)
This EMI scanner is on display in the Science Museum in London.
And here's the edited version. I think the effect is called HDR Scape, but I'm not entirely sure. Either way, I think it's a cool effect.
This particular old-style Wal-Mart hand scanner was seen last weekend at one of the Southaven Sam's Club self-checkouts. Evidently the Sam's scanner was either MIA or malfunctioning, so this old one was its substitute for the time being. I will say, it had its fair share of glitches - maybe the whole terminal is messed up.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
The Deutz-AG manufactured Scanner-Jammer is a multipurpose drone designed to augment civilian and military organisations.
Primarily the drone is a remotely operated scanning device, capable of passive and active scanning and real time updates to a sentient operator, usually on-board a nearby ship. However, the S/J can be used as a forward spotter for artillery, increasing the accuracy and effectiveness of space-based weaponry by more detailed guidance and telemetry.
The technology crammed into the drone can be reversed and flipped around in order to disrupt the scans and guidance systems of nearby vessels, too. Although skilled sensor operators can construct workarounds, the S/J can easily disrupt and scramble the data guiding snubfighters, shuttles and even some capital ship scale missiles.
The S/J cannot function whilst moving, however, and moves at half the speed of most snubfighters. The example pictured is on the periphery of an asteroid belt, using environment protection to keep it as far from harm's way as possible.
Manufacturer: Deutz-AG
Crew: Nil [1 x droid operator, wirelessly connected]
Special: Markedly increases effectiveness of sensors in the same fleet, as well as their targeting effectiveness. Secondarily, can jam nearby sensors and ships to create confusion and chaos.
Since I got my own scanner for film, I never bother doing scans at the labs, but I recently had a few rolls developed at Costco, where I always develop my negative films, and I asked them to scan the pictures because I didn't had time to do it.
When I checked the images on the screen, I thought the pictures weren't that good and I blamed the camera, so I decided to scan some of the same pictures my self to see what happens.
The pictures coming from my scanner, the Epson V600 were much better, the colors were more natural, the image sharper, and surprisingly with more details.
It's funny, because the V600 cost about $250 and the industrial Noritsu costs about $15,000. Noritsu and Fuji industrial scanners are the most common scanners in any photo lab.
