Mike,

16 bit color depth means that the scanner is using 16 bits for each color
when it digitizes an image. Each pixel would have 2^16 x 2^16 x 2^16
possible color options.

16 bits/color means 2^16 or 65,536 shades of each color (red, blue, green)
8 bits/color mean 2^8 or 256 shades of each color (red, blue, green), or
each pixel can be painted with a color from a palette of 1.6 million colors
(2^8 x 2^8 x 2^8)

Most of the time all you need is 8 bits per color for a total of 24 bits of
color per pixel.
