Abstract:
An apparatus and assembly for redirecting the central illumination axis of an illumination assembly towards the central field of view (FOV) axis of an imaging assembly using an optical element that provides an optical magnification of less than 1.5×, where the central illumination axis at the point of the illumination assembly is non-parallel to the central FOV axis.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus comprising:\n a housing; an imaging assembly positioned within the housing and comprising an image sensor having a plurality of photosensitive elements forming a substantially flat two-dimensional surface, the image sensor having a field of view (FOV), the FOV having a central FOV axis, wherein the image sensor is configured to capture at least one of: light reflected from a target and light emitted from the target; an illumination assembly positioned within the housing and configured to emit light having a central illumination axis, wherein the central illumination axis at the point of the illumination assembly is non-parallel to the central FOV axis; and an optical element positioned within the housing and adapted to redirect the central illumination axis towards the central FOV axis at a surface, wherein the optical element provides an optical magnification of less than 1.5\u00d7, wherein the optical element is a prism positioned within the housing in front of the illumination assembly, and configured to redirect the central illumination axis such that the central illumination axis converges towards the central FOV axis as both axes extend away from the housing.
