  • Patent number: 12566328
    Abstract: An optical scanning device includes a light source portion, a deflector, a first scanning lens, a second scanning lens, and a pair of reflection mirrors. The first scanning lens collects a light beam having been reflected by the deflector. The second scanning lens causes the light beam having passed through the first scanning lens to form an image on a circumferential surface of an image carrier. The pair of reflection mirrors, on an image formation optical path of the light beam, reflect the light beam having passed through the second scanning lens toward the image carrier. The light beam having been reflected by the pair of reflection mirrors passes between the first scanning lens and the second scanning lens to travel toward the image carrier.
