Abstract
An optical system including two imaging optical systems and two holders including one holder to hold one imaging optical system and other holder to hold the other one imaging optical system. Each holder includes a lens positioner to determine a position of a lens constituting each imaging optical system, and two contacts disposed apart from the lens positioner. When the one holder is combined with the other holder, the two contacts of the one holder contact the two contacts of the other holder with the lens maintained at the position determined by the lens positioner of each holder.

An optical system, comprising:
- two imaging optical systems;
- and
- two holders including one holder to hold one imaging optical system, and other holder to hold the other one imaging optical system,
- each holder including:
- a lens positioner to determine a position of a lens constituting each imaging optical system;
- and
- two contacts disposed apart from the lens positioner,
- wherein, when the one holder is combined with the other holder, the two contacts of the one holder contact the two contacts of the other holder with the lens maintained at the position determined by the lens positioner of each holder.
An optical system, comprising
- two imaging optical systems;
- and
- two holders including one holder to hold one imaging optical system, and other holder to hold the other imaging optical system,
- each holder including:
- a lens positioner to determine a position of a lens constituting each imaging optical system;
- two contacts disposed apart from the lens positioner;
- and
- a lens accommodating section apart from the contacts and the lens positioner,
- wherein when the one holder is combined with the other holder, the lens of one imaging optical system is disposed between the lens positioner of the one holder and the lens accommodating section of the other holder, which are facing each other,
- wherein when the one holder is combined with the other holder, the lens of the other imaging optical system is disposed between the lens positioner of the other holder and the lens accommodating section of the one holder, which are facing each other, and
- wherein when the one holder is combined with the other holder, the two contacts of the one holder contact the two contacts of the other holder.
