Device and Method for Image Recording

A device for image recording comprising:

• a guiding device configured to guide at least an object in an object plane;
• at least a driving device configured to transport the object in the object plane in a transport direction;
• an image plane;
• at least a contact image sensor comprising at least a light source for illuminating of the object;
• at least a light-sensitive line-pixel array, wherein the light-sensitive line-pixel array is arranged in a direction transverse to the transport direction and is arranged in the image plane;
• a control device configured to control at least one of the light source and the light-sensitive line-pixel array and configured to determine a signal generated by the light-sensitive line-pixel array;
• an optical device arranged between the object plane and the image plane, wherein the optical device comprises at least a plurality of rod lenses, wherein the rod lenses are arranged in at least one row in the direction transverse to the transport direction of the object;
• wherein the optical device is configured to guide a light beam emitted from the light source and partially reflected by the object via at least the rod lenses to the light-sensitive line-pixel array and configured to broaden a sampled area in the transport direction before the light beam incides at the light-sensitive line-pixel array;
• wherein the optical device comprises one or more inlet surfaces being inclined by a predetermined angle with regard to a plane wherein the plane is orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of each rod lens of the plurality of rod lenses;
• and
• wherein the one or more inlet surfaces are provided by at least one correction prism or are provided by the plurality of rod lenses.
