First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fingerprint acquisition assembly comprising:
- at least one camera for capturing an electronic image at a first focal range;
at least one optical interface for providing a macro image to the at least one camera at a second focal range; and
wherein the at least one camera pivots within the acquisition assembly for capturing a fingerprint image in the second focal range though the at least one optical interface.

Abstract
A fingerprint acquisition assembly (110) includes a camera (205) for capturing an electronic image at a first focal range. An optical interface such as prism (207) or lens and mirror assembly (501,503) is used to provide a macro image to the camera (205) at a second focal range. The camera (205) is pivotable within the acquisition assembly (110) for capturing an image of a fingerprint in a second focal range though the prism (209) enabling the image to be easily transmitted to another location for authentication.
