ABSTRACT:
When illuminating light from a fluorescent light is illuminated toward photo film being conveyed, the transmitted image light of the illuminated photo film is reflected by a mirror and focused on a CCD line sensor through a taking lens. Then, the electric signals converted by photoelectric conversion elements of the CCD line sensor are image-processed by an image processing system, and then outputted to a TV monitor as image signals. The fluorescent light is arranged on the side of the base surface of the film such that the illuminating light illuminates the base surface of the film first and then passes through the emulsion surface of the film so that this image light is focused on the CCD line sensor, so that the film image can be reproduced clearly. The taking lens and the CCD line sensor are arranged in a space between the film cartridge and the film winding room in such a manner that the taking optical axis becomes parallel to the photo film conveying direction so as to use the space effectively, so that the system can be made compact.
