1. An apparatus to facilitate imaging of objects by a portable imaging device (PID), said apparatus comprising:
- (a) a platform, said platform having an upper and lower surface, said platform further providing a recess on its upper surface to reversible receive at least a portion of a PID, said PID having an image capture system comprising a rear-facing camera,(b) said platform further providing an aperture extending from the face of said recess to through the lower surface of said platform, said aperture enabling the passage of light through the body of the platform to the rear facing camera of a PID, and(c) one or more supports, said supports being operably associated with said platform to facilitate stable elevation of the platform above a surface.
