Abstract: A position detecting apparatus for detecting a relative position of two objects which are relatively moved is disclosed. The apparatus has a probe (107), a probe driving device (110), a position detecting device (115) and an object driving device (116). The probe (107) is so provided for the first object (101) of the two objects as to face the surface of the second object (103) of the two objects so as to read information from the surface of the second object (103). The probe driving device (110) allows the probe to two-dimensionally scan on the surface of the second object (103) so that the probe (107) reads the two-dimensional information from the surface of the second object (103). The position detecting device (115) detects a relative positional relation of the two objects (101, 103) by comparing the two-dimensional information obtained by the two-dimensional scan of the probe (107) by the probe driving (110) device with reference to two-dimensional information. The object driving device (116) executes the relative positioning of the two objects (101, 103) on the basis of the result of the detection of the position detecting device (115).

Abstract: A probe unit (Fig.1) is provided that is suitable for example for use in a scanning tunnel microscope or the like. The electrical probe contact (7) of this unit is centrally located and mounted upon a flexible member (4,5,6). The flexible member (4,5,6) is symmetrically supported (3) at its periphery and is constrained thus so that the electrical probe contact (7) can only move back and forth in a single direction. Flexure of the flexible member (4,5,6) may be driven by electrostatic or piezoelectric forces. Alternatively, the flexible member may include a layer of piezoelectric material, the elongation or contraction of which will cause flexure.
