Is it ok to look at the bright light of a scanner when it's scanning a picture? Any health problems?
Is it ok to look at the bright light of a scanner when it’s scanning a picture? Any health problems?
1. I’m just concerned about my health. So, I don’t know if it’s a laser beam, but I kind of looked at it, when the scanning was going on. It was a really bright light. So, does this affect my eye in any way?
2. Also, I put my hand on the plate and scanned my palm. So, is it a good thing to do? Should I be concerned about my health?
My scanner is kind of like this >>>

it’s either LED or Fluorescent. Not really a big issue. The Sun will do more damage than these types of lights.

Nothing harmful as long as you don’t stare at it. Same goes for any light source.
