The case 11 is constituted of a rectangular parallelepiped case main body 51 having the opened top surface and a cover 52 provided with the window for exposing 3. A slit 54 for guiding light from a lens unit to a photoreceptor drum is formed on the bottom surface of the case main body 51 and hermetically sealed by a glass plate.
