Abstract: A laminated wafer lens includes a wafer lens and a spacer substrate bonded to each other. The wafer lens includes a resin section provided on a surface of a glass substrate. The resin section includes lens portions and interval portions, each interval portion provided between adjacent lens portions. The spacer substrate has openings at positions corresponding to the respective lens portions. The lens portions are arrayed in row and column directions in a matrix fashion. The interval portions include first and second interval portions, the second interval portion longer than the first interval portion. The spacer substrate includes interval portions each of which is provided between adjacent openings. The interval portions include third and fourth interval portions corresponding to the first and second interval portions, respectively, the fourth interval portion being longer than the third interval portion.

Abstract: Provided is an optical component manufacturing method wherein various types of information, including information relating to each optical component, can be relatively easily printed on each optical component, even in the case where a plurality of optical components are manufactured in a batch. A lens, a lens unit and a camera module manufactured by using such method are also provided. Prior to dividing camera modules into individual camera modules, a pattern to be printed on each camera module, i.e., printing contents determined based on information on a first lens array or the like after formation, is printed on the surface of the first lens array at one time. Thus, information specific to each camera module can be printed even by the relatively simple method.

Abstract: A capsule type medical device to conduct an operation in an internal organic portion of a body, is provided with a capsule body to move in the internal organic portion; and an operating member incorporated in the capsule body and to conduct the operation in the internal organic portion. The capsule body includes a bellow section formed on a peripheral surface of the capsule body such that the bellow section stretches or contracts in a longitudinal direction of the capsule body.

Abstract: In a camera equipped with a zoom lens for forming an image of an object onto a film surface, the camera is equipped with a front lens group composed of a first lens group, adjustable aperture blades, a second lens group, and a second lens group-holding member; a back lens group provided; and an actuator to drive the adjustable aperture blade. The actuator is provided on the object-side from a space between the second lens group and the back lens group.
