Abstract
A system for lighting a stent, i.e., providing an illumination source, to facilitate the capturing of an image of the stent. The lighting is provided so that an image capturing device, e.g., a digital camera or system, will capture an image that distinctly shows the difference between the stent and any surface upon which the stent is mounted, in addition to sharply defining the edges of the stent struts.
