Abstract

A medical imaging apparatuscaptures observation light from an observed region inside a subject. This medical imaging apparatusincludes plural types of optical path separation deviceswhich respectively guide first observation light and second observation light that are included in observation light from scopesthat are inserted into the subject, take in the observation light from the observed region inside the subject, and emit the observation light, along optical paths being different from each other; and an imaging apparatuswhich is shared by the plural types of optical path separation devices, is detachably connected to the plural types of optical path separation devices, and captures the first observation light and the second observation light respectively guided by the connected optical path separation devices.
