Abstract

Errors in the raster of a flying spot scanner are measured by placing a semi-reflecting surface in the path of the light to the object being scanned to form a secondary raster image in a position where such measurements can be made without interfering with the primary scanning operation. Preferably a feed-back circuit is used to control the cathode ray tube in dependence upon the measurement.
