    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging device that has variable sensitivity and that acquires images with a sampling cycle; and a control circuit that controls the imaging device. The control circuit changes a sensitivity of the imaging device with a first cycle shorter than the sampling cycle. Based on control of the control circuit, the imaging device acquires a plurality of images of a subject with the sampling cycle. The subject includes a first component that changes with a second cycle different from the first cycle.

    Abstract: A photoelectric converter includes a first electrode containing a transparent conductive material, a second electrode, and a multilayer body that is positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode, and that has a photoelectric conversion function. The multilayer body includes a first layer and a second layer positioned between the first layer and the second electrode. The first layer absorbs light in a first wavelength band of 360 nm or longer and transmits light in a second wavelength band, the second wavelength band including wavelengths longer than wavelengths included in the first wavelength band. The second layer absorbs the light in the second wavelength band. The multilayer body substantially does not have sensitivity for photoelectric conversion in the first wavelength band and has sensitivity for photoelectric conversion in the second wavelength band.

    Abstract: An imaging device includes: pixels arranged one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally, each of the pixels including an electrode that is electrically connected to the other pixels, a charge capturing unit that is separated from the other pixels, and a photoelectric conversion layer that is located between the electrode and the charge capturing unit, the photoelectric conversion layer being continuous among the pixels. The photoelectric conversion layer contains semiconductor carbon nanotubes, and one of a first substance and a second substance, the first substance having an electron affinity larger than that of the semiconducting carbon nanotubes, the second substance having a ionization energy smaller than that of the semiconductor carbon nanotubes.
