An integrated imager and camera mounting assembly that allows a single operator
to scan the crime scene for prints without assistance, and to attain an optimally
illuminated and stably focused recorded image with single handed adjustments. The
assembly includes an A-frame stand which carries a pair of UV lights on adjustable
arms for single handled adjustment by the operator in the scanning and recording
modes. The stand includes a footed base that allows the operator to securely engage
the frame against vertical, horizontal and irregular surfaces using the imager
handle thereby locating the imager at a fixed distance from the print area and
permitting ready focusing of the image with the other hand. The base further includes
a sliding scale for placement in the field of view for dimensional referencing.
