To ensure sufficient image quality for an observation.SOLUTION: An imaging device related to the embodiment includes an optical element and a plurality of image pickup devices. The optical element separates incident light into light of at least two kinds of wavelength bands. The plurality of the image pickup devices respectively receive the light of at least two kinds of the wavelength bands separated by the optical element. When a pixel subjected to binning is taken as one pixel by a group unit, the pixel of at least one image pickup device of the plurality of the image pickup devices is arranged to be shifted by a half pixel at least in one direction of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction relative to the pixel of at least the other one image pickup device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】観察するのに充分な画質を確保すること。【解決手段】実施形態に係る撮像装置は、光学素子と、複数の撮像素子と、を備える。前記光学素子は、入射光を２種類以上の波長帯域の光に分解する。前記複数の撮像素子は、前記光学素子により分解された前記２種類以上の波長帯域の光をそれぞれ受光する。ビニング処理が実行された画素をグループ単位で１画素として見たときに、前記複数の撮像素子のうちの少なくとも１つの撮像素子の画素は、他の少なくとも１つの撮像素子の画素に対して、水平方向及び垂直方向の少なくとも１方向において、半画素ずれて配置されている。【選択図】図１
