Claim One:
1. An improved rotatable optical scanner system for the continuous transmission of at least two dimensional successive images relative to a medium such as a film, each object image can be considered to be formed from a number of discrete points comprising; a source of light energy; means for creating virtual images of successive objects with at least one virtual image point of each object positioned on a stationary locus point and at least another virtual image point offset from the stationary image locus point and relatively movable during a scanning movement; means for circuitous curvature of the film about a centroid of the stationary locus point while transmitting the source of light energy, and projection means for generating real images from the virtual image further having an object field curvature characteristic complementary to the curvature of the film surface to minimize the relative movement of the real offset image point and to project a real composite image of perceptively stable registration between the film and real projected image.
