Abstract:
The invention regards a method for improving the depth of field in the detection of a linear optical code, comprising simultaneously forming two or more overlapped equally focused but differently diaphragmed in phase images of an optica code onto a linear sensor. Diaphragms and optical receiving devices suitable to implement the method are described.
Abstract:
An aiming device for an image acquisition apparatus comprises light emitting means (2) and a light guide (3) arranged for receiving a luminous radiation (13) generated by said light emitting means (2) and for providing reference image means (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5) in an aiming zone (16), said light guide (3) comprising consecutive portions of light guide (20, 21, 22, 23) defining preferential directions of passage for said luminous radiation, each portion of light guide being inclined with respect to an adjacent portion of light guide.
