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 29):
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 optical 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 carriage supported by the first lead member for movement along a trajectory substantially parallel to the first lead member; a first motor having a first motor shaft, the first motor and the first drive mechanism linking the first carriage to the chassis and the first motor shaft engaging the first drive mechanism to move the first carriage along the first lead member through a first range of motion as the first motor shaft rotates; an area sensor supported by the first carriage for movement therewith to adjust a distance between the area sensor and the fold mirror along the light path, the area sensor aligned with a segment of the light path; a second drive mechanism supported by the chassis and extending alongside and spaced apart from the first lead member; a second carriage supported by the second drive mechanism for movement along a trajectory substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment; a second motor having a second motor shaft and supported by the chassis, the second drive mechanism coupling the second motor to the second carriage to move the second carriage along the trajectory substantially parallel to the first lead member through a second range of motion; and a lens supported by the second carriage and positioned between the area sensor and the fold mirror along the second optical axis segment; wherein the first lead member is supported to one side of the lens and the area sensor and wherein the first drive mechanism is located at a height below the top edge of the fold mirror and to one side of the lens.
