Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for distortion-free imaging of objects aligned with the imaging plane using a reflecting body which is acted upon by a light source and is associated with the object to be imaged, in particular for detecting, examining and identifying fingerprints.
• the object of the invention is to provide a generic device which allows the imaging, viewing, documentation and direct automatic evaluation of objects arranged at an oblique angle to the imaging plane, an identical undistorted impression image being generated without the use of mirrors or mirror-like elements.
• the object is achieved in that the reflecting body is generally designed as a glass body, in particular as a reflection prism, between the reflection prism and the end section on the image side Means an arrangement of deflecting prisms or Ablenkkeilen the field flatness of the object to be imaged, as well as to compensate for the astigmatism and a first and possibly second anamorphic optical lens array is formed '.Hier notebook is achieved the effect that the flatness of field located by the first deflection prism through the second to the lens Deflection prism is lifted less than the compensation of the astigmatism, whereby both deflection prisms in combination enable a flattening of the image field without the occurrence of astigmatism at a close image and object level.
• the very high contrast and the smudge-free and stain-free image enable automatic evaluation.
• the finger strips enables a more secure evaluation of different types of finger strip features. Due to the simple handling, errors in taking impressions are eliminated.
• the simple design of the optical system is very robust and insensitive to mechanical influences such as vibrations and can also be made relatively small and light.
• the device according to the invention is easy to transport. Since only a few optical components are required, the manufacturing costs are relatively low.
• a further advantage is the possibility of being able to connect commercially available or specific imaging or recording devices. With a concavely curved contact surface on the reflection prism, it is also possible to be able to detect curved objects with one receptacle.

• An illumination device 1 is arranged in front of the light incidence surface 4 of the reflection prism 3. There is a diffusing screen 2 between the lighting device 1 and the light incidence surface 4 to make the light rays more uniform.
• the base of the reflection prism 3 is designed as a support surface 6 on which the object 7 to be imaged, such as. B. a finger must be placed.
• the deflection prism 8 for flattening the field of view is arranged in relation to the reflection prism 3 in such a way that the light incidence surface 9 and the light emission surface 10 of the deflection prism 8 are arranged at an acute angle to one another and obliquely to the light emission surface 5 of the reflection prism 3.
• the prism base 11 of the deflection prism 8 is oriented away from the outer beam path 12 at an obtuse angle to the light-emitting surface 5 of the reflection prism 3.
• the light incident surface 14 and light incident surface 15 of the deflecting prism 13 is oriented obliquely to the light incident surface 10 of the deflecting prism 8 such that the prism base 16 is at a greater distance from the light incident surface 10 than the tip section of the deflecting prism 13-
• an effective housing 18 is indicated, on which a connecting means 19 for connecting members 20 is formed.
• the deflection prism 8 at a certain prism angle and corresponding position of this deflection prism 8 relative to the reflection prism 3 and to the lens 17 cancels out the perspective distortion that occurs when, as required, at an angle looks at the reflecting hypotenuse surface from about 45 ° through one of the two sides of the catheter.
• the deflection prism 8 thus brings about a flattening of the image field, which counteracts or eliminates the perspective distortion. This process is shown schematically in Fig. 4b.
• this deflection prism 8 can at the same time compensate for a difference in depth of focus that arises from such a perspective view.
• the field of view is flattened.
• the deflecting prism 13 > which is at a distance from the light-emitting surface 10 of the deflecting prism 8 and which has a considerably smaller prism angle than the first deflecting prism 8 serves primarily for that indicated by the outer one during the passage of rays
• the parameters of the optical system are also determined by the length of the objective tube adjoining the lens 17 or a device with a similar function and the focal length of the lens 17.
• the device 25 thus makes it possible to switch off or compensate for the astigmatism in the near object plane and near image plane. There are no differences in the meridional and sagittal focal lengths.

By appropriately inserting an upstream, intermediate or downstream special optical system with at least one fiberboard 35, either the entire image field leveling or only a remaining image leveling that is still required can be effected.
