Optical device including a transparent material between two relatively adjustable transparent members

摘要

An optical device for stabilizing an image of an objective lens against an unexpected vibration is disclosed. A pair of transparent parallel-plane plates are supported by a support member, an optically transparent material is held in a space defined by the pair of parallel-plane plates by a deformable connecting member, a reinforcement member made of a harder material than that of the support material is provided at a portion of the support member, and a drive force is applied to the pair of parallel-plane plates through the reinforcement member.
