Abstract:
A lens unit includes a tube lens; a single lens arranged at a downstream side with respect to the tube lens in an optical incidence direction; and a supporting member that supports the tube lens and the single lens. Reflection light from a document is condensed on an image sensor by the tube lens and the single lens to form an image. An end surface part, not facing the tube lens, of the single lens is in direct contact with the supporting member.
