An imaging portion of an imaging apparatus according to the present
invention has a cover glass adhered by an adhesive to an imaging surface
side of a CCD in a state of sandwiching leads (adhesion area B.sub.1),
and has a slight airtight air gap formed on the imaging surface side of
the CCD so as to render a circumference of the cover glass larger than
the CCD. As for a circuit board, a concave portion for accommodating the
CCD is formed, and a periphery of the cover glass is adhered to a top
surface of the circuit board by the adhesive (adhesion area B.sub.2).
Thus, the air gap is doubly sealed so that its airtightness is improved
and influence of temperature change is reduced so as to prevent
condensation on a back side of the cover glass and so on.
