The present invention relates to a real-time parathyroid imaging device, and a real-time parathyroid imaging device for displaying only a parathyroid in a thyroid with a separate mark, the real-time parathyroid imaging device including: a light source configured to emit light to a thyroid and excite a parathyroid; a detector configured to detect an emission spectrum of the parathyroid excited and emitted by the light source; an excitation filter disposed in front of the light source; and an emission filter disposed in front of the detector. When central Compartment Neck Dissection (CCND) for thyroidectomy is performed, the present invention clearly marks a parathyroid by an autofluorescent image, thereby allowing a surgeon to more simply and safely perform the CCND while leaving the parathyroid.

An electronic apparatus which is capable of reducing the number of parts and assembling man-hours of a seal construction of an matching section of external covers, and making seal performance stable while realizing downsizing of the apparatus. The electronic apparatus has a first external cover, a second external cover abutting to the first external cover through a matching section, a seal member disposed at the matching section, a gap disposed at the matching section on an external side of the electronic apparatus with respect to the seal member, and a third external cover fitted to the first external cover and the second external cover so as to partially cover the seal member. The seal member has, at a part of the gap partially covered by the third external cover, a protruding portion abutting to the third external cover to seal the part of the gap.

An optical unit with a shake correction function may include a unit with a swing mechanism having an optical module and a swing drive mechanism structured to swing the optical module, a rolling drive mechanism including a magnetic drive mechanism structured to turn the unit with the swing mechanism in a direction different from a swing direction by the swing drive mechanism, a connection member which connects the unit with the swing mechanism with a turning shaft of the rolling drive mechanism, and a support member which supports the rolling drive mechanism. The connection member includes an abutting part integrally turned with the unit with the swing mechanism and the support member includes a position restriction part which restricts a movable range of the abutting part.

A driving apparatus which is capable of smoothly moving a follower by a cam portion, and realizes the stopper structure of the follower by a small number of components without the size increased. The driving apparatus comprises an up cam gear having an up radial cam and an up thrust cam, and a down cam gear unit having a down radial cam and a down thrust cam. The up cam gear and the down cam gear unit mesh with each other in a vicinity of a region in which a lift amount of the up radial cam with respect to the follower increases. In a vicinity of a position at which the up cam gear and the down cam gear unit mesh with each other, a lift amount of the up thrust cam is larger than a lift amount of the down thrust cam in the thrust direction.
