To tell you the truth, I am not sure... I also found
"scanning" for "varredura" in a text on some microscope..
"sweeping" is just not the same thing and I haven't come across it so
far in this context even though I also found it
in dictionaries...

agree  Sidnei Arruda: you can use either "scan" or "scanning", but "scanning" is better.
