Abstract
An optical scanner includes a housing and an intermediate member that includes a first joining surface and a second joining surface. The first joining surface is attached to the housing and the second joining surface is attached to at least one optical element of any one of a first optical system and a second optical system. In a three-dimensional coordinate in which a first one of coordinate axes is a direction that is parallel to both the first joining surface and the second joining surface, a second range on the first coordinate axis corresponding to the second joining surface includes a center point of a first range on the first coordinate axis corresponding to the first joining surface.
