ABSTRACT:
An image acquisition apparatus acquires an image indicating an intensity distribution of infrared light. The image acquisition apparatus includes a conductive thin film, a dielectric layer placed on the thin film, a base to support the thin film and the dielectric layer in this order on a principal surface, a light source to emit light to an interface between the thin film and the base, and an image pickup device to receive light reflected on the interface between the thin film and the base.
