Dear Terry, dear Bill, 

one of the answers is already given on the homepage of Bill: the differences
between the three scanners (UMAX) are striking and really very interesting,
not only for numismatics but also forsimple minded pathologists. I remember
a similar article about depth of fields in a German journal for computers
(c't) a couple of years ago. 

Maybe this article
http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/indexmag.html?http://www.microscopy-uk.o
rg.uk/mag/artapr01/dwscanner.html is also interesting to you too.
