Abstract
A high-speed focal-plane image scanning system is described. With such a system an astronomical image can be linearly scanned without moving either telescope or detector, and without defocusing. The application of the scanning system, used in conjunction with a three-beam photoelectric photometer, to lunar research is discussed briefly.Keywords
