Abstract
A probe arranged to oppose a sample is coupled to a driving portion constituted by an actuator capable of obtaining a large expansion/contraction amount and an actuator capable of obtaining a small expansion/contraction amount. In order to keep the gap length between the sample and the probe constant, a first gap length control system drives the actuator and a second gap length control system having a driving time constant smaller than that of the first gap length control system drives the actuator in response to changes in gap length between the sample and the probe.
