<p>The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for imaging a fingerprint (13) with a reliably high quality based on a fingerprint scanner (5). The objective of the present invention is to find a new possibility for imaging the fingerprint (13) with a sufficiently high quality. At this time, since a comprehensible feedback for an imaging process is given in real time, a user can perform necessary corrections in finger placement without active guidance. According to the present invention, an image processing unit (2) is arranged behind an imaging unit (1), and a two-dimensional display unit (4) is attached to the imaging unit (1). Depending on the result of analysis of the fingerprint (13) by the image processing unit (2), the two-dimensional display unit displays a positive real-time expression of a finger placed on an imaging surface (11) from an image memory including a library consisting of a plurality of animated finger position images to simply guide the user.
