Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a medical imaging system and an imaging device capable of achieving high image quality with a simpler configuration. An imaging module includes a branching optical system that branches light incident via an imaging lens in three directions and emits the light, and three imaging elements that receive light emitted from the branching optical system in the three directions and perform imaging. Then, the three imaging elements are arranged at positions having different optical distances from the principal point of the imaging lens by a shift amount ΔZ, and the shift amount ΔZ is calculated from ΔZ=2×DoF×M (1<M<2) by using a depth of focus DoF of the imaging lens set on the basis of a pixel pitch p of the imaging elements and an aperture value F of the imaging lens, and a correction term M. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a medical imaging system.
