Disclosed is an image capturing apparatus comprising a primary mirror 1 that has a surface which is a section of a surface cut out from a paraboloid with a single focus; a secondary mirror 2 that has a surface which is a section of a surface cut out from a hyperboloid with two foci; and a photodetector 3 which converts the light signal coming from the secondary mirror 2 into an electric signal. The secondary mirror 2 is placed in a position where one of its foci and the focus of the primary mirror 1 match with each other. The photodetector 3 is placed near the other focus of the secondary mirror 2. By using two mirrors, the light from the object is led to the photodetector 3 without being shaded.
