{{Main article|Charge-coupled device}}
Scanners equipped with [[charge-coupled device]] (CCD) scanning elements require a sophisticated series of mirrors and lenses to reproduce an image, but the result of this complexity is a much higher-quality scan. Because CCDs have a much greater depth of field, they are more forgiving when it comes to scanning documents that are difficult to get perfectly flat against the platen (such as bound books).<ref name=sense>{{cite journal | last=Staff writer | date=July 1999 | url=https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A54840845/GPS?sid=wikipedia | title=Making Sense of the Sensors | journal=Computer Shopper | publisher= SX2 Media Labs | volume=19 | issue=7 | page=223 | via=Gale}}</ref>
