Abstract

A stereoscopic imaging system enabling observation of a stereoscopic image due to parallax by reproducing, on a single screen in an image-reproducing means two kinds of images of an object which are taken by two imaging units and between which there is parallax and by observing the images in such a manner that the left and right eyes of the observer observe only the separate images taken by the separate imaging units corresponding to the left and right eyes, wherein there is provided swing means for mechanically or electronically shifting the optical axes of the respective lenses of said two imaging units, by which swing means the observer can view a stereoscopic image without fatigue and in a natural condition.
