The imaging cartridge may be configured as a removable cartridge for the system so that the imaging cartridge, including the rigid optical element and elastomeric sensing surface can be removed and replaced as a single, integral component that is robust/stable over multiple uses, and easily user- 00 replaceable as frequently as necessary or desired. The cartridge may also usefully incorporate a number of light shaping and other O features to support optimal illumination and image capture.
