An imager was a device similar in nature to a camera used for multiple purposes. Planetary imagers were placed in orbit and capable of imaging any part of a given planet. For example, terraforming missions utilized them. (TNG: "Home Soil" ) After retrieving a list of Bajoran names from a wall panel in the old chemist's shop aboard Deep Space 9, Quark told his brother Rom to fetch an imager so he could copy the list. However, Quark was shot and the list stolen. (DS9: "Necessary Evil") It is unclear whether "imager" was a slang term for a pre-existing piece of Treknology.

- An imager was a device that one could use to take holographic images of people and places. 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.
- A piece of technology that allowed the recording and display of visual messages, not unlike holography. The D'ni people possessed that technology as well as the Amad on the Surface (possibly after some undocumented contact with the former). Atrus had an Imager in the form of a pool basin on Myst island, which he used for topographic displays and also to leave messages to Catherine.

| - A piece of technology that allowed the recording and display of visual messages, not unlike holography. The D'ni people possessed that technology as well as the Amad on the Surface (possibly after some undocumented contact with the former). Gehn possessed an Imager (possibly of Amad technology) where Keta had left him a love message. He carried it over to Riven and then to Age 233. On Riven, Gehn adapted the D'ni technology to mimic that of the Amad and created several Imagers. One could be seen in the school of the Jungle Island, while another of gigantic proportions was installed in the Temple of the Temple Island, obviously to command and intimidate the Rivenese. Atrus had an Imager in the form of a pool basin on Myst island, which he used for topographic displays and also to leave messages to Catherine. The top level of the tusk in J'nanin had an Imager where Atrus had recorded mesages instructing his sons while teaching them The Art. The Imager was triggered only after his sons completed some of their tests. Saavedro overwrote most of these messages while preparing his revenge against Atrus. An Imager was also to be found on Channelwood, perhaps constructed by Sirrus (and/or Achenar). Obviously Achenar used it to command and intimidate the Tree-dwellers, with his face or mouth appearing above a torture tool. Achenar could record his messages with a device in his room. Sirrus used it to leave a message to him.
