1. A HIGH-RESOLUTION PORTABLE BIOMETRIC READER FOR NEWBORNS comprising a newborn biometric reader incorporating an ergonomically-shaped portable structure of electronic type and containing integrated and symmetrically arranged between each other a frame and a handle and a core for the optical and electro-optical components for fingerprint, palm print and footprint image acquisition of newborn babies and fingerprint image acquisition of mothers by means of an optical system via a method of frustrated total internal reflection with a prism having a resolution greater than 29 lp/mm (1450 ppi) over the entire capture area and a capture area of more than 18×36 mm, the set being interconnected to a handheld computer for treatment, storage and transmission of images, characterized in that the frame and handle are comprised by a V-like shaped upper recess arranged along the entire length of the upper surface of the frame and the handle; a horizontal U-like shaped upper recess horizontally, parallelly and symmetrically centered in the upper rear portion of the frame and the handle; a rectilinear front edge slanted and symmetrically arranged along the entire length of the front surface of the frame and the handle; a convex rear curve symmetrically arranged around the lower rear surface of the frame and the handle; two concave side recesses vertically and parallelly arranged along the entire length of the side surfaces of the frame and the handle; and a concave lower recess arranged along the lower rear surface of the frame and the handle; and the optical system to be comprised by a right-angle, three-sided glass prism vertically, parallelly and symmetrically arranged along the entire length of the front surface of the frame and the handle of parallelepipedal shape and horizontally, parallelly and symmetrically arranged under and along the entire length of the lower surface of the right-angle, three-sided glass prism in front of the right-angle cathetus; an internal objective lens with 25 mm focal length, maximum size ⅔″, minimum working distance of 100 mm, axis resolution of 200 lp/mm and edge resolution of 160 lp/mm and vertically, parallelly and symmetrically spaced away from the rear surface of the right-angle three-sided glass prism; and an image sensor vertically, parallelly and symmetrically spaced in the rear surface of the internal lens.
