-28- Abstract Of The Disclosure A fingerprint image is derived from the direct optical reading of a finger by an optical and electronic scan of the finger with a beam of coherent, collimated light. The beam is shaped in the form of a slit of light which extends the length of the finger zone to be inter- rogated. That slit light beam is scanned across the finger in a direction perpendicular to the axis of that slit. The rays which constitute the interrogating light in the slit define an incident light beam in the form of a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the finger being interrogated. The light beam and the rest of the optical system is rotated about an axis that is substantially coincident with the axis of the finger so that this perpendicular relationship be- tween the plane of the interrogating light beam and the surface of the finger is maintained throughout the scan.
