Very interesting. I've just had a try with my scanner with the following result. Not being much of a photographer, I don't think I could have achieved such a good picture with my camera!
I am not planning to take my scanner apart though. This resolution will do me fine.
BTW if a moderator is reading this, could you please delete the image that I submitted to the tree category. I submitted it there by mistake when trying to upoad this forum image.
Thanks,
Jenny
