Abstract:
1. An apparatus capable of shooting an invisible image luminously visualized on an object while observing the position of the invisible image latent on the object, comprising: a base body that can be placed directly on the object; an observation window that extends from the base body and can take ambient light therein to allow a visible image existing on the object to be directly observed there through; a light-emitting body that emits invisible light to luminously visualize the invisible image; a mirror; an optical system; and a camera fixedly set with respect to the base body, wherein the observation window is set to allow the invisible image luminously visualized on the object by the light from the light-emitting body to be directly observed there through from at least one direction, the mirror is set to reflect images incident from a direction different from the at least one direction including the luminously visualized invisible image and guide a mapping image to the optical system, and the optical system is set to guide the mapping image guided from the mirror to the camera.
