Abstract
A copying apparatus for the photographic reproduction of a multi-dimensional object capable of photocopying an original and a three-dimensional object, wherein one of an original and a three-dimensional object is disposed on a platen glass, and an illuminating device is disposed so as to be separated from a surface of the platen glass by a predetermined distance in a substantially vertical direction. The illuminating device is also disposed such that the one of the original and the three-dimensional object is positioned between the illuminating device and the platen glass, illuminates a light field to the one of the original and the three-dimensional object. As a result, even if the one of the original and the three-dimensional object is copied onto a photosensitive material, recording can be effected such that quality of a recorded image is maintained and a background image of a copied one of the original and the three-dimensional object is set by the illuminating device.
