An imager was a device that one could use to take holographic images of people and places. Two synchronized imagers were used to scan a subject when a holographic recording was created, with a computer combining the recording to generator a full three-dimensional image.
Major Lesim requested such a device after the surrender of Luke Skywalker, famed Rebel hero, so that the former could take a holo of the event.
Wes Janson used a handheld imager to take an image of Derek Klivian in his T-65 X-wing starfighter.
