Abstract:
An imaging apparatus comprising a chassis, a light source for directing light along a first optical axis segment of the light path, at least a first fold mirror supported within the light path for redirecting light along a second optical axis segment, the at least a first fold mirror having a top edge, a first elongated lead member supported by the chassis, the first elongated lead member forming at least a first substantially straight surface that extends substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment, a first drive mechanism supported by the chassis and extending alongside and spaced apart from the first lead member, an area sensor aligned for movement with a segment of the light path, wherein the first lead member and the first drive mechanism are located to first and second different sides of the second optical axis segment and wherein each of the first lead member and the first drive mechanism are located at a height below the top edge of the at least a first fold mirror.

Claim (Index 1):
A digital microform imaging apparatus, comprising:\n a chassis, a light source supported by the chassis for generating light that travels along a light path, the light source directing light along a first optical axis segment of the light path; a mirror assembly including at least a first fold mirror supported by the chassis within the light path for redirecting light trajectories along the light path, the at least a first fold mirror including a reflecting surface located along the first optical axis segment and redirecting light from the light source along a second optical axis segment of the light path, the at least a first fold mirror having a top edge; a first elongated lead member supported by the chassis, the first elongated lead member forming at least a first substantially straight surface that extends substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment; a first drive mechanism supported by the chassis and extending alongside and spaced apart from the first lead member; a first motor including a first motor shaft that engages the first drive mechanism; a first carriage coupled to the first lead member for movement there along and coupled to the chassis via the first drive mechanism and the first motor such that rotation of the first motor shaft causes the first carriage to move along the first lead member along a trajectory that is substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment; an area sensor supported by the first carriage and aligned with a segment of the light path, the area sensor moving with the first carriage, the first carriage moving substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment within a first range to adjust a distance along the light path between the area sensor and the at least a first fold mirror; and a lens supported by the chassis and positioned between the area sensor and the fold mirror along the light path; wherein the first lead member and the first drive mechanism are located to first and second different sides of the second optical axis segment and wherein each of the first lead member and the first drive mechanism are located at a height below the top edge of the at least a first fold mirror.
