Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor and an image fiber that guides light incident from a focusing optical system toward the image sensor. The image sensor has such configuration that the distance in a first direction between two intersections is between ¼ times and ¾ times a pixel pitch of the image sensor, where one intersection is an intersection between a straight line passing through the center of the first sensor pixel and parallel to the first direction and a straight line connecting the center of the target pixel and the center of the adjacent pixel and the other intersection is an intersection between a straight line passing through the center of the second sensor pixel and parallel to the first direction and a straight line connecting the center of the target pixel and the center of the adjacent pixel.
