Abstract
The present invention provides a palm print scanner where a palm is placed on the exterior of a transplant cylinder. A light source rotatably positioned within the cylinder rotates about the circumference of the inner surface of the cylinder so that partial palm print images are propagated from the cylinder. The partial palm print images are captured by an imager and sent to an image memory where they are combined to form a composite palm print image.
