IMAGING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that imaging elements receive a small amount of light due to pin holes shielding much of the light.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus includes: a semiconductor substrate; multiple imaging elements formed on the semiconductor substrate; a light emitting unit which is formed on the semiconductor substrate so as to be adjacent to the imaging elements; multiple optical elements which are formed on optical paths of the imaging elements, and which direct the light emitted from the light emitting unit to be away from the light emitting unit in a direction parallel to the optical paths of the imaging elements; and multiple objective condenser components which are provided on the optical paths between the optical elements and a subject, and which condense the light from the optical elements to the subject.
