The portable fired cartridge examination imaging apparatus has a carrying case including a base, a lid which locks in a vertical open position. A fired cartridge mounting device is provided for holding the cartridge substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis with the primer surface of the cartridge being substantially perpendicular to the axis, and an imaging system consisting of a cartridge microscope, camera, and light source are solidly interconnected with the mounting device to form a unit which is connected to the lid such that when the lid is open, the unit is substantially vertically disposed, while being at least partially received by the base of the case when the lid is closed for safe storage. The microscope has an adjustable magnification and focus adjustment mechanism for adjusting a magnification of the microscope and a focus of the microscope between two settings to image a breech face impression on the primer surface and a firing pin impression surface in the primer surface so that full images of the breech face and the firing pin impressions can be obtained with good focus using a single adjustment. The apparatus is designed for field use by a police officer having limited training in fired cartridge examination imaging, and the images obtained are to be sent to a forensic fired cartridge examination center where forensic experts can carry out proper examination of the fired cartridge images.
