OPTIMAL SYMBOLOGY ILLUMINATION-APPARATUS AND METHOD |
摘要 |
An imager (30) for illuminating and imaging encoded symbology to facilitate decoding of the symbology and which provides both "bright field" and "dark field" illumination patterns is provided with an illumination directing devi ce to direct the "bright field" illumination pattern into an alternative "dark field" illumination pattern. In one embodiment the illumination directing device takes the configuration of a disc that is selectively positionable in front of the imager (30) and removable therefrom depending upon whether or n ot the illumination pattern is to be changed. The disc snap fits into a positio n at the front of the imager housing (32) and includes a fresnel configured outer ring, a light blocking inner ring, and a light transmissive center. Th e fresnel configuration (520) receives light and redirects the light forward o f the imager and towards a centerline passing through the device to provide th e alternative illumination pattern.
