Claim One:
1. A scanner system for scanning an object, the scanner system comprising: a first scanner stage; a second scanner stage at a location; a calculation unit connected to the first scanner stage and to the second scanner stage and receives first scanning results from the first scanner stage; wherein the calculation unit has an interface for receiving position information on a region of interest within the object and for receiving orientation information with respect to a first orientation of the object, wherein the position information and the orientation information was determined by means of a third scanner stage which is located at a distance from the scanner system and which scanned the object having the first orientation; wherein the calculation unit is adapted to determine a second orientation of the object at the second location on the basis of the first scanning results from the first scanner stage; wherein the calculation unit is adapted to determine a difference between the first orientation and the second orientation by using the orientation information; wherein the calculation unit is adapted to determine an area to be scanned at the second scanner stage on the basis of the difference and the position information, the area including the region of interest.
