Imaging system housing

An imaging system housing comprising a body and a scanning plate, the body defining a cavity and an opening in communication with the cavity, the body including a lip formation extending from a peripheral zone adjacent the opening in a direction away from the cavity and transverse to a plane defined by the opening, the scanning plate being shaped and dimensioned to close the opening and having a groove formation extending along a periphery thereof and being shaped and dimensioned to cooperate with and receive the lip formation of the body, wherein the scanning plate is made from a low surface energy (LSE) plastic material, and wherein the body and plate are bonded together using a structural acrylic adhesive applied to one or both of the lip and groove formations, wherein the body is made from a fiber-reinforced polymer, and wherein fibers of at least portions of the fiber-reinforced polymer which form at least part of the lip formation extend transverse to the plane defined by the opening.
