SURVEYING INSTRUMENT AND SURVEYING SYSTEM

There is provided a surveying instrument including a distance measuring light projecting module, a light receiving module, an attitude detector, an optical axis deflector provided on a common portion of a distance measuring optical axis and a light receiving optical axis, a projecting direction detector configured to detect an optical axis deflection angle and a deflecting direction provided, a narrow angle image pickup module which has a field angle narrower than the wide angle image pickup module and a narrow angle image pickup optical axis which is partially shared with the distance measuring optical axis, and an arithmetic control module, in which a wavelength dispersion compensating prism is provided in a common portion, the arithmetic control module is configured to deflect the distance measuring optical axis in a horizontal direction by the optical axis deflector, to sequentially perform the distance measurement and the acquisition of the narrow angle image.
