PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformly fill an imaging lens and an image sensor part with at least a transparent material to allow an imaging apparatus to easily capture images under a high water pressure.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus is placed in a sea bottom, obtains images of the sea bottom, and has: an imaging lens; an image sensor; an electronic circuit; and a pressure resistant housing. The imaging lens, image sensor, and electronic circuit are housed in the pressure resistant housing. An interior part of the pressure resistant housing is filled with a filler. The imaging lens and the image sensor part are uniformly filled with a transparent material.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】撮像レンズとイメージセンサ部分は少なくとも透明材質で均一に充填することで、高水圧下でも容易に撮像可能とする。【解決手段】海底に投入し、海底の画像を取得する撮像装置において、撮像レンズとイメージセンサと電子回路と耐圧筐体を有し、上記耐圧筐体内部に上記撮像レンズとイメージセンサと電子回路を収納し、上記耐圧筐体内部を充填剤で充填し、上記撮像レンズとイメージセンサ部分は透明材質で均一に充填することを特徴とする。【選択図】図１
