Abstract

An apparatus continous imaging apparatus comprising a camera portion and an image receiving portion, Specifically, the image pickup portion comprises an image pickup tube that deflects and scans electron beams and allows electron signals correponding to one pixel or a one-dimensional array of pixels to be converted successively and continuously to time-series light signals. The image receiving portion comprises means that converts to electron beams the time-series light signals transmitted from the pickup tube through at least one optical fiber and which reproduces an image by deflecting the electron beams in synchronism with the camera portion.
