Abstract
A support member for a precision device includes a vertical support element and a horizontal support element. The vertical support element extends along a vertical main direction of extent and includes a material with a low thermal expansion coefficient. The horizontal support element horizontally surrounds at least a portion of the vertical support element and is configured to horizontally support the vertical support element against tilting from the main direction of extent. The horizontal support element bounds a thermally insulating interior space in which the vertical support element is partially accommodated.
