scanner

Chicago provides crime reporters and amateur scanner-chasers with more grit and brutality than they can handle combined.

As with the fingerprint scanner of the iPhone 5s, the larger screen means that the phone will cost more.

The psychologist settled himself in the chair, leaned forward and peered into the scanner.

He was stooped slightly forwards, peering absorbedly through the eyepieces of the operator scanner before him.

The machine's crowning glory was a big bowl-shaped sort of thing that didn't quite succeed in looking like a radar scanner.
