The invention relates to a device for reproducing images that can be found on originals, comprising at least one image capturing element that lies in a housing (1) and comprising a translucent panel (4) which lies between the image capturing element and the original and which is retained on the housing (1), said original being transportable on the panel for reproduction on the image capturing element. The essentially rectangular panel is retained on the housing at only two of the opposing edges (3, 5) of said panel. The first support for one of the edges (3) consists of at least one spring clip (2, 2′, 2″, 2′″), and the spring clip preloads the panel against the second support (6) for the opposing edge (5) of the panel. The panel (4) is associated with a handle (7, 7′), by means of which the panel can be manually moved out of the second support against the preload of the spring clip.
