The imaging lens 20 is provided such that a part thereof is positioned inside the capsule body 22 and the rest is protruded from the opening 22b. The transparent cover 23 is formed into a dope shape, and is attached to the end 22a of the capsule body 22 to cover the imaging lens 20 protruded from the opening 22b. The inside of a patients body is captured using the transparent cover 23 and the imaging lens 20 designed to satisfy the following condition: fD/fL≦70 where fD is a focal length of the transparent cover 23, and fL is a focal length of the imaging lens 20.
