ABSTRACT:
A tomography imaging apparatus comprises: a light source that emits light having a low interferable performance; a light irradiation optical system constituted to split the light emitted from the light source into two, irradiate one of the split light to a subject and irradiate the other one of the split light to a reference mirror; a first guiding member that guides signal light to a first light emitting end, the signal light being from the subject based on light irradiation from the light irradiation optical system; a second light guiding member that guides reference light to a second light emitting end, the reference light being from the reference mirror based on the light irradiation; and a multipixel image taking element that provides an optical intensity distribution of interfered light by the signal light emitted from the first light emitting end and the reference light emitted from the second light emitting end.
