IMAGING DEVICE WITH ANTI-CONDENSATION PROVISION

摘要

The invention relates to an imaging device provided with an image sensor element (1) for electromagnetic radiation (11) and with a covering body (2) which is transparent to the radiation (11) and through which the radiation (11) can reach the sensor element (1). According to the invention, the imaging device is characterized in that a transparent electrically conducting layer (3) is provided on the covering body (2) and is provided with two connection electrodes (4, 5) for heating of the covering body (2) with an electric power supplied through the electrodes (4, 5) and dissipated in the transparent layer (3). It is possible with the imaging device according to the invention to prevent condensation of a water film on the covering body (2) under conditions where the temperature of the covering body (2) lies below the dew point of the surroundings.
