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).
Features
1. Articulated "sensor arm".
2. White LED ring-light & RGB LED effects.
3. RGB LED effects preset lockout key-switch.
4. RGB /ring-light LED effects-select pushbutton.
5. Main power switch.
6. Lighting effect, speed select (RGB LED).
7. Lighting effect, mode select (RGB LED).
8. Lighting effect, color select (RGB LED).

8. Lighting effect, color select (RGB LED).
Components
1. Modified arm mount for a cell phone.
2. Modified aluminum "Mini-Mag" flashlight.
3. BNC connector fitted with a SMD LED
4. Specimen stage with markings/diffusion.
5. Housing from a high-output LED light.
6. Aluminum bicycle handlebar extension.
