An optical scanner having a scanner glass with a bottom surface includes an LED illumination source and a reflector, disposed below the glass. The illumination source has a target-oriented surface oriented to direct light toward the glass at a non-perpendicular angle. The reflector is oriented to direct light reflected off of the bottom surface toward the target-oriented surface.

Optical scanner illumination system and method

An imaging device illumination system comprises first and second elongate light guides configured to emit light toward an object to be imaged, each of the first and second light guides having an input window at one end thereof for receiving light from a light source and an end face at an opposite end thereof, wherein the input window of the first light guide is disposed proximate to the end face of the second light guide.
