That's an artifact of the structure and process of a scanner. They employ a line-form light passing over the subject - the whole width of the scanner surface is covered by a single "bulb" passing over the surface to be scanned, and the resulting image is not a point in time but a compsite of what amounts to a timelapse exposure where every aspect of the subject is only shown in its' optimally-lighted state. That "optimal" is defined by the scanning software, which is why two different scanners of similar resolution specs can return entirely different results when (mis-employed) used to scan something like a coin which covers only a small percentage of the scanned surface. They're more detail-accurate than most photographic images as a result, but not necessarily accurate for the subjective evaluation of surface since they're the equivalent of a planned, staged photo shoot.

That works for me!
