Abstract

A table carrier system of the present invention has a movable table for carrying an object. A displacement detecting system for detecting the displacement of the table by using an interference of light, and a table driving system positions the table according to the detected displacement. If a scaling amount is set in order to change a predetermined displacement range of the table, a reference value of wavelength set in the detecting system is changed in compliance with the scaling amount.
