Abstract: Scanning, or probing, is fundamental to most objective investigation. A spatial scanning theory applicable to a space of any number of dimensions is described in which the relation between the field being scanned and the scanned output is expressed in terms of a scanning operator, or function. The relation between the probe qualities and the scanning operator can be expressed by means of Fourier's Integral Theorem so that either may be derived from the other. Examples of the application of the theory to record film and television scanning are discussed.
