ENDOSCOPE IMAGING DEVICE AND ENDOSCOPE DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope imaging device capable of achieving a small structure of optically transmitting an imaging signal inexpensively, and protecting an electro-optic conversion element from a liquid agent which is used for sterilization treatment by wiping or immersion, and high temperature and high pressure steam in autoclave treatment.SOLUTION: A camera head comprises: a first case part whose inside part is in an airtight condition; an imaging element which is arranged in the first case part; an electro-optic conversion element 921 which is disposed outside of the first case part and converts an imaging signal output from the imaging element into an optic signal; and a sealing member for sealing the electro-optic conversion element 921 in an airtight condition.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】小型で安価に撮像信号を光伝送する構成を実現しつつ、拭きとりや液浸での滅菌処理の際に使用する薬液やオートクレーブ処理での高温高圧蒸気から電光変換素子を保護することができる内視鏡用撮像装置を提供する。【解決手段】カメラヘッドは、内部が密閉に保たれた第１ケース部と、第１ケース部の内部に配設される撮像素子と、第１ケース部の外部に配設され、撮像素子から出力された撮像信号を光信号に変換する電光変換素子９２１と、当該電光変換素子９２１を密閉に封止する密閉部材とを備える。【選択図】図７
