Abstract
An image capturing apparatus including a light guide device having a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, a transparent device disposed on the first surface, an image capturing device disposed on the second surface, a first optical adhesive, a second optical adhesive and a light source is provided. The first optical adhesive is disposed between the transparent device and the first surface. The transparent device is connected to the first surface through the first optical adhesive. The second optical adhesive is disposed between the second surface and the image capturing device. The image capturing device is connected to the second surface through the second optical adhesive. The light source is adapted to emit a light beam. The light beam passed through the light guide device is transmitted toward the transparent device and totally reflected by an interface between the transparent device and an environment medium.
