A visual sensor system (10) which provides computer-compatible data representative of an object (12) comprises means (13) (which may be a lens) providing a focal surface (14) having a predetermined spatial shape, a bundle (16) of radiation guide members (such as optical fibers) interconnecting a receptor surface (15) and a delivery surface (17), and an opto-mechanical scan device (18) arranged to scan a predetermined scan surface. The receptor surface (15) is physically located at and arranged to conform with the focal surface (14) and the delivery surface (17) is physically located at and arranged to conform with the scan surface. Computer-compatible data is effected by the presence at the delivery surface (17) of discrete radiation guide member ends which provide discrete radiation packages to the probe of the scan device (18).
