An absolute encoder comprising a sensor array, a code plate arranged-in opposition to the sensor array and having a plurality of blocks in the direction of normal displacement, each block having an adress track and a fine reading track, and an arithmetic unit for processing data of the code plate detected by the sensor array. Each of the blocks of the code plate (8) has a reference track (12), an address track and a fine reading track (14). The fine reading track of each block has fine reading patterns which change in a direction crossing said direction of normal displacement.

A liquid prism is disclosed. It includes a liquid in order to obtain a free liquid surface which is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, and a liquid container for sealing the liquid in it. At least a part of the bottom surface portion of the container is formed of a light transmitting material. A good thermal conductive material such as a metallic material is provided deep enough under the free liquid surface of the liquid so that the free liquid surface will not interfere with the free liquid surface, even when the container is inclined at angles within the range of measurement. At least a part of the good thermal conductive material is formed with an opening to permit the light from the bottom surface portion of the liquid container to transmit therethrough. The good thermal conductive material may be formed with an irregular portion.

An encoder has an optical measuring part establishing a vernier relationship between a code plate (1) and a line sensor (5), and counters (12,17) for obtaining a coarse reading from time serial output signals of the line sensor (5) and a fine reading from the vernier relationship. Correction data including a change component in a magnification of a lens system (4) is obtained from a counter (23). The correction data and the fine reading are supplied to a converting circuit (13a) to provide a corrected fine reading.
an illuminating optical system (1) for illuminating a surface to be measured, said illuminating optical (1) system including light source means (8) forming a pattern of at least two groups of straight lines having different directions of arrangement, each being composed of at least two parallel straight lines in a virtual plane, and collimator lens means for orienting a principal ray of an illuminating beam of light emitted from said light source means (8) through a pin hole (10) arranged on the optical axis, to be parallel to said optical axis; detecting means (2) for detecting said illuminating beam of light reflected from said surface positioned in a plane which is not optically conjugate with said light source (8); and arithmetic means for calculating the radius of curvature of said surface from changes in inclination and pitch of the projected straight-line pattern which is formed by said reflected light detected by said detecting means (2) and which corresponds to said light source.
