Abstract
High-definition images are acquired at low cost while achieving a reduction in apparatus size and a reduction in the incident light level. Provided is an image acquisition apparatus that includes a light-path setting member for making incident light enter two or more light paths; two or more different-characteristics imaging devices that acquire images of light entering the light paths set by the light-path setting member; and a moving part to which at least one of the two or more imaging devices is attached and that minutely moves the imaging device in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis.
