Imaging device for a relief object and system and method of using the image device

摘要

An imaging device has a substrate having a planar top surface and a planar bottom surface opposite the top surface. On the top surface, an area is designated to receive a relief object. The designated area has a corresponding designated area on the bottom surface. The device includes further an electro-optical panel positioned within the designated areas. The electro-optical panel has optical properties that provide an image of the relief object so that the image is available at the bottom surface for capturing by an image detector positionable in proximity of the bottom surface of the substrate.
