Capturing device

Abstract

A capturing device includes: a light source that emits light applied to a capturing target; a capturing element that captures the capturing target; a capturing lens that couples an image of the capturing target to the capturing element; a light guide member that guides light emitted from the light source; and a holding member that is fixed inside the capturing device, and holds the light guide member. The light source is provided closer to the capturing element side than a tip of the capturing lens. The light guide member extends in parallel with an optical axis of the capturing lens, causes light from the light source to be incident on a light incidence portion, guides light in a direction parallel to the optical axis toward the tip of the capturing lens, and emits light from a light emission portion.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
