Carriages are mounted upon the pair of rails for longitudinal movement relative to the rails. The optical table is supported at only three locations from the carriages. A drive mechanism is connected between the carriages and the rectangular framework for causing relative movement between the optical table and the rectangular framework. At least one optical element is carried by the optical table.
