You might be ok with spectroscopy in the visible range -- after
all, the scanners were designed to scan visible color. But it
might not do you much good if you're looking at ultraviolet.

Anyone on this group have any experience with removing the sensing
array from scanners and using it as an optical sensor? I'm interested
in using some of the old scanners that seem to be all over the place as
optical devices for spectroscopy, etc.
