Re: OT: Looking for a document scanner that can stand 700 C

I see the original post as 70 degrees C (with the degress displayed as a
superscript o, as it shoud be), and not 700C.

Hi all,

apologize for asking for some hardware but maybe somebody knows a
scanner that can stand 700 C.

A customer of mine needs such a scanner for a lab (that works with
viruses) that will be heated daily up to this temperature.

I think you will be hard-pressed to find many electronic devices that
can handle such operating temperatures. Most electronics are
considered rated for "extreme environments" if they operate in the
range of -30C to +85C. Your requirements are almost 10 x that.

Even the daytime temperature on the surface of the moon is only about
107C, so even NASA didn't have to worry about such heat for
electronics. I think Venus is around 480C.

What you're looking for would be so highly specialized that I imagine
it would have to be custom built and by that I mean one would likely
put a normal scanner in a custom, cooled enclosure.

I would say put the scanner in the office next to the lab. :-)
