Abstract: A storage system for items generally includes a support for holding the items on the support and an imaging unit coupled to the support for use in viewing the items. The support defines an opening, and the imaging unit is moveable relative to the support between a first position in which the imaging unit is disposed generally within the opening of the support and a second position in which the imaging unit is disposed generally outside of the opening, for use in viewing the items. Lights are provided in the system to help illuminate the items held on the support. The lights may be automatically activated, as desired, by the imaging unit, for example, when the imaging unit moves relative to the support, such that the lights can help facilitate viewing of the items, with the imaging unit, held by the support.
