PURPOSE: To remove distortion of expansion and contraction without generating mechanical distortion, by making a plate-like lens slidable against a case body, the absorbing the distortion generatd by expansion and contraction of the plate - like lens.
CONSTITUTION: A plate-like lens 3 consists of plural lens bodies 4, and these lens bodies 4 are arrayed on one straight line. On a guide base 2 of a case body, guide surfaces 5, 5' are formed, both end faces 6, 6' in the longitudinal direction of the plate-like lens 3 are abutted to the guide surfaces, and both of them are formed in the tapered shape so as to slide by its expansion and contraction. When the plate-like lens 3 expands, the plate-like lens 3 slides in a state that both end faces 6, 6' are always abutted to the guide surfaces 5, 5', therefore, it can be slided without backlash.
