A document reading apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to receive light from a document;
- an imaging lens configured to form an image of light from the document on the sensor;
- a first holding member to which the imaging lens is fixed;
- and
- a second holding member to which the sensor is fixed,
- wherein the first holding member and the second holding member are fixed using an adhesive and solder.
A method for assembling an image reading apparatus, the image reading apparatus including an imaging lens configured to form an image of light from a document, a solid-state image sensor configured to receive light from the document via the imaging lens, an imaging lens holding member to which the imaging lens is fixed, and a solid-state image sensor holding member to which the solid-state image sensor is fixed, wherein the imaging lens holding member and the solid-state image sensor holding member are fixed using an adhesive and solder, the method comprising:
- fixing the imaging lens holding member and the solid-state image sensor holding member to each other using the adhesive;
- and
- fixing, after the adhesive has hardened, the imaging lens holding member and the solid-state image sensor holding member to each other using the solder.
