1. A device for contactless capture of a biometric print of part of a user's hand, able to acquire a part of a hand being part of a palm of a hand, comprising:
an electronic compartment and a user compartment,
the user compartment including a frontal opening designed for passage of the palm of a hand into said user compartment,
the electronic compartment including acquisition means for acquiring an image of a print of said hand part, and
the user compartment further including at least one lateral opening allowing the passage of a thumb of the user's hand,
wherein the lateral opening extends as far as the frontal opening to form a continuous open space, the lateral opening being delimited in a direction of insertion of the user's hand into the user compartment by a user hand positioning stop to encourage the palm of the hand to be introduced into the user compartment with the thumb spread, the positioning stop impeding full insertion of the hand,
wherein the user compartment further includes an acquisition zone delimited on a side of the frontal opening by a limit, the positioning stop being located at a stop distance of between fifty and eighty millimetres from said limit.
