I don't know, but I suspect not yet.

Hopefully it will have arrived by then. Your information is consistent
with what Stoyan told me back in 2005 when I started looking for source

I think CHM has been doing photography of that type, so should be able to
provide guidelines and lighting. They definitely have some good scanners.
