Claim:
1. A measuring probe including a stylus having a contact part to be in contact with an object to be measured, an axial motion mechanism having a moving member that allows the contact part to move in an axial direction, and a rotary motion mechanism having a rotating member that allows the contact part to move along a plane perpendicular to the axial direction by means of rotary motion, wherein the axial motion mechanism includes a plurality of first diaphragm structures that allow the moving member to be displaced, and the rotary motion mechanism includes a second diaphragm structure that allows the rotating member to be displaced, the second diaphragm structure is disposed between the plurality of first diaphragm structures in the axial direction, the number of the first diaphragm structures is set to an even number, the respective first diaphragm structures are disposed at a symmetric distance with respect to the second diaphragm structure, and the axial motion mechanism supports the rotary motion mechanism, or the rotary motion mechanism supports the axial motion mechanism.
