Abstract
The invention provides an electronic distance measuring instrument, which comprises a light projecting optical system for emitting a distance measuring light onto a distance measuring optical axis and a light receiving optical system for leading a reflected distance measuring light to a photodetector, wherein the light projecting optical system has a projection optical axis deflecting unit for deflecting a projection optical axis so that the projection optical axis coincides with a light receiving optical axis, the light receiving optical system has a first light receiving optical axis deflecting unit and a second light receiving optical axis deflecting unit which are arranged on a same plane, the photodetector is arranged on a plane different from the first light receiving optical axis deflecting unit and the second light receiving optical axis deflecting unit.
