<p>Information recording/reading apparatus using a slider having a near-field light probe for realizing recording and reading of information with high reliability at high speed to and from a record medium having a high density by interaction between near-field light and the record medium. There is realized compatibility of stable light incidence and maintaining posture of a slider 11 by integrating structure of a flexure 3 and a light guide structure to the slider 11. <IMAGE></p>
