I'm getting rid of an all-in-one inkjet printer + scanner, and I was wondering if there's some good use to be made of the scanner portion.
-- Turning it into a plate reader obviously comes to mind (see Microscale Colorimetric Analysis Using a Desktop Scanner and Automated Digital Image Analysis), but I find it hard to justify using a flatbed scanner if a cheap webcam can essentially achieve the same these days. (That's why I'm getting rid of the scanner in the first place - can't remember the last time I actually had to scan a document; I just take a picture with my smartphone these days...)
Other suggestions? I assume this thing has a linear RGB CCD element that could potentially be used for spectroscopy...
