Abstract
An image reading apparatus () includes image sensors (A,B). The image sensor (A) includes light guides (A,A) guiding light to a reading target (M), a lens body (A) forming an image of reflected light derived from the light guided by the light guides (A,A) and reflected from the reading target (M), light receiving elements (A) converting the image of reflected light formed by the lens body (A) into electrical signals, and a controller (A) controlling exposure times of the light receiving elements (A). The image sensor (B) includes a lens body (B) forming an image of transmitted light derived from the light guided by the light guide (A) and transmitted through the reading target (M), light receiving elements (B) converting the image of transmitted light formed by the lens body (B) into electrical signals, and a controller (B) controlling exposure times of the light receiving elements (B).
