Abstract
An optical device includes: a holding frame holding an optical system; a tubular member provided at an outer circumferential surface with a first concave groove and at an inner circumferential surface with a second concave groove, and holding the holding frame; and an eccentric pin penetrating through the first and second concave grooves, including one end attached to the holding frame, and eccentrically rotating against the first and second concave grooves in response to a force applied to the other end of the eccentric pin. A length, in a first direction intersecting a penetrating direction through which the eccentric pin penetrates, of the first concave groove is greater than a length, in a second direction intersecting the first direction and the penetrating direction, of the first concave groove.
