ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus capable of performing phase difference detection while allowing light to enter an imaging device is provided. An imaging unit (1) includes an imaging device (10) including light receiving sections (11b,11b, . . . ) and a substrate (11a) on which the light receiving sections (11b,11b, . . . ) are provided and which has through holes (18a,18a, . . . ). The imaging device (10) is configured to perform photoelectric conversion on received light. The imaging unit (1) further includes a phase difference detection unit (2) configured to perform phase difference detection on received light which has passed through the imaging device (10) via the through holes (18a,18a, . . . ).
