CAPSULE TYPE IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a capsule type imaging device which can change the imaging range actively.

SOLUTION: When an electromagnet 100 is excited, a magnetic repulsive force works on fin parts 101 each comprising a sheetlike permanent magnet so as to be driven to be deformed outward on the free end side. The driving of the fin parts 101 in a liquid (gastric juice or the like) existing within a digestive organ can cause an active change in the imaging range with a camera module 2 by controlling the attitude of the main body 1 according to the combination and the number of the fin parts 101 driven simultaneously.
