A fingerprint imaging system includes an image capturing apparatus that includes an optical component having a sensing surface for placing a fingertip thereon, an inclined reflection surface that is connected to the sensing surface, and a light exit surface that is disposed opposite to the inclined reflection surface. The image capturing apparatus also includes a light source module for directing a light beam towards the sensing surface for scattering by a fingerprint of the fingertip placed on the sensing surface. The light source module, and the various surfaces of the optical component are disposed such that light scattered by a plurality of ridges of the fingerprint form a light component that is reflected to exit the optical component through the light exit surface. The image capturing apparatus further includes an imaging unit. |
