Abstract

See full text

A directly viewable fingerprint image is formed by illuminating a transparent planar substrate from one surface with collimated light, the substrate having pressed against the other surface a fingerprint to be imaged. Light striking the surface against which ridges of the fingerprint are in contact undergoes internal reflection within the substrate and causes a directly viewable image of the fingerprint to be formed by a direct image producing means.
