  • Patent number: 5278916
    Abstract: A fingerprint image system includes a television camera in a cabinet pivotable between two positions where it views different surfaces on which an image can be placed. In one position it sends a fingerprint image at five times magnification to a printer and a monitor. In the other position it sends the image at actual size to the printer and monitor. A remote, hand-held camera, adapted to view fingerprints directly on surfaces, includes a light shield to prevent ambient light from falling on the fingerprint and light sources, such as a filtered light to cause the fingerprint to fluoresce or colored light to enhance the image.
