Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fixing structure for fixing an optical element at a predetermined position in an optical device, the fixing structure has a plurality of first pressing members to fix the optical element at at least two positions on a surface of the optical element orthogonal to an optical axis of the optical element and a second pressing member to fix the optical element at a predetermined position on a surface of the optical element to the optical axis. A depth of pressing of the surface of the optical element by a tip of the second pressing member is larger than the depth of pressing of the surface of the optical element by the tips of the first pressing members.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A fixing structure for fixing an optical element at a predetermined position in an optical device comprising: a holding member to hold the optical element at a predetermined holding position; an adjustment member to adjust the holding position by pressing the optical element held by the holding member; a pressing member to press the optical element the holding position of which is adjusted by the adjustment member, wherein the adjustment member is con…
