By using an offset parabolic concave mirror as a concave mirror, and arranging a lens having an entrance pupil at the geometric focal point of the offset parabolic concave mirror, a group of rays incident parallel to the optical axis of the offset parabolic concave mirror become chief rays which are telecentric with respect to an object plane orthogonal to the optical axis of the offset parabolic concave mirror, and diverging light from each object point on the object plane can be detected on a quadric image plane formed by the lens at the focal point of the offset parabolic concave mirror without blind spots. An image of the target object is detected after the beams reflected by the offset parabolic concave mirror are bent by the reflecting mirrors and made incident on the lens to reduce the size and cost of the device.
A device for receiving beams propagating from each of object points on a surface of an object, comprising
