Abstract:
An imaging device includes a solid-state image element and an encapsulation section. The solid-state image element has an imaging region. In the imaging region, the solid-state image element receives light which is transmitted through an imaging target placed on the imaging region. The encapsulation section is placed on a surface, on which the imaging region is formed, so as to enclose the imaging target. The solid-state image element is peelable from the encapsulation section to enable the solid-state image element to be reused.
