A stage apparatus is provided including a base, a table that is movable relative to the base, a drive mechanism that moves the table, a pressing mechanism that presses the table, a position detection device that detects a location of the table, and a control device that controls the pressing mechanism. The table is moved in a predetermined moving direction relative to the base by the drive mechanism. The table is pressed by the pressing mechanism in a direction different from the moving direction. The control device, which is connected to the position detection device, controls the pressing mechanism to press the table at a stop position of the table. The control device controls the pressing mechanism based on locations of the table before and after being pressed, a correction amount indicating a difference between the locations, and a target location of the table.

Since wires connected to a linear motor are routed in a vacuum sample chamber, outgassing is generated from wire coating and efficiency of assembly operations is reduced. Further, there is a problem that thrust generation efficiency of the linear motor is reduced when a gap between a coil and a permanent magnet of the linear motor cannot be small. In order to solve the above problems, a linear motor for vacuum is provided, the linear motor for vacuum including: a mover having a permanent magnet; and a stator having a support member to which a coil is fixed, in which the support member includes a vacuum sealing portion that vacuum seals with a wall surface of a vacuum sample chamber, and a feed-through for supplying a current to the coil provided in the vacuum sample chamber.
