<p>There is provided a small sized imaging apparatus which can measure with high accuracy a color distribution of a surface of an object, in which a light intensity distribution on a predetermined surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis is uniform, and a change in an amount of light in a direction along the optical axis is reduced, and an illuminating unit which used in this imaging apparatus. (The imaging apparatus) Includes a light source section (210) which supplies illuminating light, a diffusing section (211) which diffuses by reflecting the illuminating light from the light source section (210), and aperture sections (212a and 212b) which allow to emerge diffused illuminating light, and the aperture sections (212a and 212b) has an aperture diameter D which allows the diffused illuminating light to emerge as a substantially parallel light.</p> |
