Abstract

An apparatus (113) for reading a two-dimensional image of skin topology having a window (109, 801) against which the skin is locatable, and a sled (101, 806), in which the sled and the window are movable with respect to each other along a first dimension. The sled (101, 806) has optics (207, 402, 600) for directing one-dimension illumination (203, 621) along a second dimension through the window (109, 801) to the skin (201), and an image capture device (103) for receiving returned light from the illuminated skin. The image capture device (103) is capable of imaging the returned light without imaging optics, whereby the image capture device with movement relative to skin along the first dimension provides a two-dimensional image along the first and second dimensions representative of the topology of the skin.
