ABSTRACT:
An image capture device, which illuminates a subject and receives light reflected from the subject to capture an image of the subject, is provided to achieve a small-size configuration and easy assembly. A plurality of light-emitting elements are mounted in positions on the periphery of an image sensor, and a light-guiding member guides light from the plurality of light-emitting elements to the image capture range for illumination. And protrusions of the light-guiding member are pressed by the lower end of a hood which blocks light from outside the image capture range, and the hood upper end is pressed by a filter. Slits are provided in the hood lower end. Even in assembly where a visible light filter is installed on the hood and fixed to an outer case, the occurrence of gaps between the hood and the visible light filter can be prevented through the spring action of the slits.
