An imaging device 1, suitable for monitoring a driver, arranged in a vehicle’s instrument cluster 100. The device 1, which may be an infrared imaging device, has a plurality of lenses 2b for receiving light rays captured within a field of view and that are stacked along its optical axis X-X. At least one lens 2b has a translucent coating T that filters a predetermined spectrum of light, such as visible light, thereby concealing the device 1 from a driver. Also provided is an instrument cluster 100, suitable for use in a vehicle, having the imaging device 1 and a dial 6 with a pointer 5 rotatable about an axis Y-Y. The pointer (5, Fig. 2) is coupled to a drive unit (4, Fig. 2) and is attached to the cluster 100 by a column.
