         2 . The optical device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an energizing force regulating portion which regulates an energizing force of the energizing member, provided so as to sandwich, with the first holding frame, the energizing member, in a direction crossing a position determining direction of the first holding frame by the position determining portion and a fixing direction of the first holding frame by the fixing portion.   
     
     
         3 . The optical device according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 in a direction crossing a position determining direction of the first holding frame by the position determining portion and a fixing direction of the first holding frame by the fixing portion, is a direction approximately parallel to the optical axis of the optical system.   
     
     
         4 . The optical device according to  claim 3 , wherein:
 the energizing force regulating portion is a screw capable of advancing and withdrawing along a direction approximately parallel to the optical axis.   
     
     
         5 . The optical device according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 two position determining portions are provided along an outer periphery of the first holding frame, and these two position determining portions are respectively capable of advancing and withdrawing in a radial direction from the optical axis, and the directions of advancing and withdrawing are orthogonal to each other.   
     
     
         6 . The optical device according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 two elastic bodies are respectively provided corresponding to the position determining portions, at sides opposite the positioning determining portion and sandwiching therewith the optical axis, and   the fixing portion is between the two elastic bodies, and is disposed at a side opposite the two position determining portions and respectively sandwiching therewith the optical axis.   
     
     
         7 . An optical device comprising:
 a first holding frame which holds an optical system;   a second holding frame which supports the first holding frame;   a first elastic body having elasticity and provided between the first holding frame and the second holding frame when viewed from a direction which crosses an optical axis of the optical system;   a first screw member which is screw-tightened in a direction which crosses the optical axis, and provided so as to sandwich, with the first elastic body, the first holding frame when viewed from a direction which crosses the optical axis;   a second screw member which is screw-tightened in a direction which crosses the optical axis, and provided so as to sandwich, with the first screw member, the first holding frame when viewed from a direction which crosses the optical axis; and   a second elastic body which applies an elastic force to the first holding frame, in a direction which crosses a screw-tightening direction of the first screw member and the screw-tightening direction of the second screw member.   
     
     
         8 . The optical device according to  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a third screw member which regulates the elastic force of the second elastic body, and which is provided so as to sandwich, with the first holding frame, the second elastic body, in a direction which crosses the screw-tightening direction of the first screw member and the direction of screw-tightening the second screw member.   
     
     
         9 . An optical instrument comprising the optical device according to  claim 1 .
