Laboratory Scanning Device - For the TV Series ARROW

---

ARROW needed an interesting bench-top type specimen scanner device.  Since this was to appear as an example of cutting-edge technology,  we were provided the opportunity to explore a novel design.

Background

​Sometimes an assignment comes along that grants ​more design latitude than normal.  Because this prop is only thinly described in the script, PROPOLOGY had the opportunity to explore a novel design that incorporated several interesting "found-objects" and lighting effects (see below).
