A body,placed thereon with a table,put thereon with an object to be measured W, and a portal frame,supporting both ends of rail,to the body through pillars,A and,B, the rail being placed above the table,and extending along a moving direction of a pair of probes,A and,B, are provided. A pair of sliders,A and,B are movably supported by the rail,. The pair of the probes is extended downward from the sliders,A and,B to be abutted to the object W put on the table,. The flexural deformation of the probes,A and,B is decreased due to the shorter length of the probes,A and,B, so that the high accurate measurement is achieved and a relative measurement is omitted.
