In an incremental measuring instrument for measuring the relative position of two objects, of the type including reference marks absolutely positioned with respect to a graduation of a scale, a first scanning plate with scanning fields for the graduation is provided in a scanning unit which is shiftable on a guide independent of the guide of the objects to be measured. The second scanning plate is connected to the first scanning plate by means of a coupling which is rigid in the measuring direction. In this way the separation of the first and second scanning plates with respect to the scale can be adjusted independently for optimal scanning of both the graduation and the reference marks.
