<p>A portable reader module includes a housing (100, 101) having an internal space (102), and a first receptacle (110) configured to removably receive a portable device (300) having an imager, wherein the first receptacle (110) includes a first optical entrance (420) for the imager to the internal space (102) of the housing (100, 101). The housing (100, 101) further includes a second receptacle (120) configured to removably receive a cartridge (500), wherein the second receptacle (120) includes a second optical entrance (122) to the internal space (102) of the housing (100, 101) so that the cartridge (500) is visible to and from the internal space (102). A light-deflecting optical element (450) is arranged within the internal space (102) of the housing (100, 101) to define an optical path between the first optical entrance (420) and the second optical entrance (122). An illuminating path for illuminating the cartridge (500) is defined in the housing (100, 101). The housing (100, 101)is configured to allow the internal space (102) to be light-shielded.</p> |
