Abstract
An image sensor unit includes a light emitting element, a light guide that has a substantially rod-like shape and shapes light emitted by the light emitting element into a line, a light condenser that focuses light from an illuminated object, an image sensor that detects the light focused by the light condenser, and a frame in which a light guide housing chamber that houses the light guide and an image sensor housing chamber that houses the image sensor are formed. A correction optical path that extends from the light guide to the image sensor without passing through the light condenser is formed in the frame.
