Abstract

A method and apparatus for reproducing and recording images from an original slide, film strip, microfiche, or the like to the same or another medium, including a portable modular system which may be readily moved from one location to another. The portable modular system includes an image support module which supports the image to be recorded along the optical axis of the system. An image recorder module is provided with a recording surface upon which the original is to be recorded. A condensing lens module is positioned between the image support module and the recorder module, and a projection lens module is positioned along the optical axis between the condenser lens module and the image support module. A zoom optics lens is positioned along the optical axis adjacent the recorder module. The optical system is operable to permit still images to be recorded at a high rate of speed, while simultaneously monitoring with a computer control the horizontal and vertical orientation of the slides and simultaneously recording inventory information.
