Abstract

A new optical substrate design allows a target to be illuminated with minimal illumination of undesired surfaces within the image collection ray path. The non rectangular substrate provide different surfaces through which a target is illuminated and imaged and thereby prevents illumination rays from crossing the substrate surface through which the target is imaged
