There's one clue that they're switching the illuminant colors
electronically. If you do single-pass multi-scanning and
increase the number of passes, the frequency of all the noises
goes down. The other clue is looking at where the LED is
mounted inside the scanner - it's mounted very solidly. One
last clue is watching the focus operation - the lights come
on one at a time and flicker on and off quite rapidly.
I've experimented with doing really, really long CCD
exposures, and the only time a noise happens is when
the stepper motor advances the whole mechanism.
