Abstract
The invention relates to an optical imagery device comprising: a light source, an optical medium in which the light coming from the source can be propagated; a detection surface defined by a frontier of the optical medium; an image sensor towards which the light coming from the light source and undergoing reflection onto the detection surface is reflected. The inventive device is characterized in that it is arranged in such a way that from the sensor the source appears to be sufficiently pointed to enable an image to be formed directly on the sensor.
