Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging section converting an image taken from an object into an original image signal, an apparatus body outputting an image or video signal to an external display and further delivering an image data signal to a terminal device, an external data input/output terminal including a main data input/output terminal for data communication with the terminal device and an secondary data input/output terminal for connection of peripheral device executing data communication with the terminal device, a single main power supply unit supplying power to the imaging section and the apparatus body, one or more power supply units supplying power to the peripheral device from the secondary data input/output terminal, and a power supply control unit executing control for converting voltage and current of an external power supply into voltages and currents suitable for operations of the imaging section, the apparatus body and the peripheral device respectively.

Abstract: To achieve both uniform illumination and a reduction in the LED light sources, after simplifying illumination control of the light sources. In an illumination unit 130, when arranging LED light sources in a linear arrangement on a light source base plate 160, installation thereof will be thinned out in the center, while providing the base plate left and right ends with LED light sources 160L1 and L2 and LED light sources 160R1 and R2. The light emitted by the LED light source 160L1 and the LED light source 160R1 will be reflected by a left inside wall face 131LS and a right inside wall face 131RS respectively, and directed onto the table upper face. The light emitted by the LED light source 160L2 and the LED light source 160R2 lying towards the center zone of the light source array where the light source placement has been thinned out will be reflected by a left outside wall face 171LS and a right outside wall face 171RS respectively, and directed onto the table upper face.
