Abstract
The present invention provides an imaging device wherein an imaging unit can be stably supported by a bracket and adverse effects on the imaging unit caused by differences in the amount of thermal expansion between the bracket and the imaging unit can be reduced. This imaging deviceis provided with an imaging unitattachable to the bracket. The imaging unitis provided with a plurality of supported partsto be supported by the bracket. The supported partsare provided on both ends of the imaging unitin the width direction DW crossing the light axis OA direction at one end of the imaging unitin the light axis OA direction, and in the center part in the width direction DW at the other end of the imaging unitin the light axis OA direction. The supported partshave supported points, which are supported by the bracket, and load points, which receive the biasing force operating toward the supported pointsfrom the bracket.
