Abstract
Usability of device is improved for an imaging device that images a target object mounted on a table. In order to hold a camera headand an illumination unitwith respect to a tableon which a target object is mounted, an imaging devicecoaxially and rotatably supports a camera head holding armand an illumination unit holding armat an elevated portion, which is located at an inner-left corner of the table, such that degrees of inclinations of the arms may be variable with respect to the table. The arms are rotatably and axially supported at the elevated portionsuch that the camera holding armcan rotate with an accompanying rotation of the illumination unit holding armand the illumination unit holding armcan rotate independently with no accompanying rotation of the camera holding arm
