Scanning undeveloped film?

I wanted to buy a scanner for my 35 mm negatives (I have tons of them). However, I am an amateur and was wondering if you could scan a roll of 35 mm that has not yet been developed? Will this damage the film?

Without lab processing, you cannot expose un-developed film to light. The film will turn totally black which, since it's a negative, means it has been completely exposed.

If you mean can you scan developed negatives that have never been printed, the answer is yes. I have a Nikon V ED and I do this myself. I have the lab cut them into strips of five or six scan them, invert them in photoshop and then simply treat them as digital files.
