To coaxially and simultaneously capture an image of a face and a high-quality image of the eyes of the same subject.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus includes: a lens on which light from a subject is incident; a spectroscopic section that disperses the light received through the lens into first light having a first wavelength band and second light having a second wavelength band higher than the first wavelength band; a first imaging section that captures an image of a first portion of the subject on the basis of the first light; a second imaging section that captures an image of a second portion narrower than the first portion of the subject on the basis of the second light; and an output section that outputs the captured image of the first portion and the captured image of the second portion to an external device. The first imaging section and the second imaging section coaxially capture each other through the lens and the spectroscopic section.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】同一被写体の顔の画像および目の高画質な画像を同軸かつ同時に撮像する。【解決手段】撮像装置は、被写体からの光が入射するレンズと、レンズを透して受光された光を、第１波長帯を有する第１光と第１波長帯より高い第２波長帯を有する第２光とに分光する分光部と、第１光に基づいて、被写体の第１部分の画像を撮像する第１撮像部と、第２光に基づいて、被写体の第１部分より狭い第２部分の画像を撮像する第２撮像部と、撮像された第１部分の画像および第２部分の画像を外部装置に出力する出力部と、を備える。第１撮像部および第２撮像部は、レンズおよび分光部を介して互いに同軸で撮像する。【選択図】図４
