A cornea imaging apparatus (10, 140, 150) including: a collimation axis holding mechanism (28) an imaging mechanism (32) a Z-direction actuating means (94, 98) an X-direction actuating means (90, 98) and a Y-direction actuating means (92) an inclination angle changing means (96, 160) that changes an inclination angle of an imaging center axis of the imaging mechanism (32) against a collimation axis of an eye under examination an endothelial configuration computing means (14, 88) that determines a corneal endothelial configuration and a normal vector computing means (14) that determines a normal vector direction at a given imaging position of the corneal endothelial configuration, wherein at the imaging position, the inclination angle and positions in the Z and X directions are set adjusted so as to align the imaging center axis of the imaging mechanism (32) with the normal vector direction determined by the normal vector computing means (14).
