Stage, and biological microscope with the stage

摘要

A stage movable in the X and Y directions includes a base member, a first moving member and a second moving member provided on the base member, and first and second rotational operation mechanisms provided on a lower portion of the base member for linearly moving the first moving member and the second moving member respectively. A linear movement member that is moved linearly in a first direction by the first rotational operation mechanism is provided on the base member, and movement conversion transmission means that is moved linearly in a second direction by the second rotational operation means is provided on the first moving member. The first moving member is provided with a movement transmission mechanism that allows linear movement of the second moving member in the first direction and causes, when the first moving member linearly moves in the second direction, the first moving member and the second moving member to move together linearly in the second direction, and the second moving member is provided with a transmission portion that engages the linear movement member so that it moves upon linear movement of the linear movement member. The linear movement member transmits its linear movement to the transmission portion to cause the second movement member to move linearly in the first direction and guides the transmission portion upon linear movement of the first moving member and the second moving member in the second direction by the movement transmission mechanism.
