An apparatus includes an X-direction piezoelectric driving member expandable in the X direction upon application of a voltage, and a Y-direction piezoelectric driving member expandable in the Y direction upon application of a voltage. One end of the X-direction piezoelectric driving member is flexibly connected to a frame via a hinge, and the other end of the member is firmly connected to a block. One end of the Y-direction piezoelectric driving member is flexibly connected to the frame via a hinge, and the other end of the member is flexibly connected to the block via a hinge. A probe can be scanned by using this scanning mechanism without causing much fluctuations of the optical axis of a light beam used for the atomic force microscope.
