Abstract
An optical imaging device such as a fingerprint imager or a CCD camera, has a reduced size due to the provision of multiple lenses which are associated with respective CCDs. The optical path between the lenses and the CCDs is shortened. In a fingerprint version of the device, a staircase-shaped prism is advantageously used in combination with the multiple lens and multiple CCD arrangement. An alignment means is provided to facilitate the reconstructing the image out of partial images created by separate CCDs.
