Claim Text:
1. An imaging apparatus that forms an image of a light beam transmitted through an imaging lens on an imaging element, comprising a laminated material that is provided on the imaging element, the light beam being transmitted through the laminated material, the laminated material being provided at a position at which an end portion of an upper surface of the laminated material allows an outermost light beam out of light beams to be transmitted therethrough, the light beams entering a pixel in an outer end portion of the imaging element in an effective pixel area, the position having a width Hopt, wherein the width Hopt that allows the outermost light beam to be transmitted therethrough is represented based on a thickness of the laminated material, a focal length of the imaging lens, an F-number of the imaging lens, and an image height of an image sensor, by the following formula: wherein T, f, Fno, and H represent the thickness of the laminated material, the focal length of the imaging lens, the F-number of the imaging lens, and the image height of the image sensor, respectively.
