Abstract:
Various embodiments described herein relate to a scanning system for scanning and decoding direct part markings (DPM) type indicia. The scanning system includes an arrangement of an illumination module, a beam splitter module, and a telecentric lens assembly. The telecentric lens assembly is adapted to direct an in-line illumination received from the illumination module as collimated light to illuminate the DPM indicia. Upon illumination, a first portion of light reflected from embossments of the DPM indicia that are incident on the telecentric lens assembly at a defined angle is decoupled from an optical path between the telecentric lens assembly and the target. An imager is exposed to a second portion of reflected light, excluding the decoupled reflected light that is reflected from a substrate on the DPM indicia, in order to capture an image of the DPM indicia for decoding.

Claim (Index 11):
The scanning system according to  claim 9 , wherein the beam splitter module is further configured to merge the in-line illumination in a direction of the imaging axis.
