Abstract

An image pickup apparatus includes observation units that observe an object from different directions and an image processor. Each of the observation units includes an objective lens, a lens array, and an image pickup element, receives light with the image pickup element, the light being modulated by the object and passing through the objective lens and the lens array, and outputs image signals having a phase difference. The image processor measures a shape of the object in terms of the relative distance from a reference point based on the image signals from the observation units.
