As someone who participated in a test of the Kontron high-resolution digital
camera, may I recommend it as a solution in the case of delicate or difficult
(e.g., outsized) materials?  Its maximum resolution is just over 3000 x 2000,
24-bit color, and the results are spectacular.  You won't want to buy it for
this project (about $25,000), but you may be able to find someone in your
vicinity who has one.  It's distributed by Roche (the medical-pharmaceutical
folks) in this country; the southernmost installation I know of is at the
University of Virginia.

If you'd like more information, I can probably put you in touch with someone who knows more.
