Description
本発明は、各プローブの出口端と基板表面との距離が、各プローブに対して基本的に同じで、複数の試料を基板表面に同時に運ぶことができるプローブアレイを提供する。この距離は、基板表面が新しい基板表面と取り替えられるたびに、正確に制御され得る。プローブがプローブハウジング内に滑動可能に設置され、各プローブの出口端が、基板表面と相互作用を行い得、プローブをハウジング内の位置に保持するように、プローブに対して摩擦力を及ぼす摩擦要素と、プローブの壁とが接触するようになっている。1つの実施例では、このプローブが中空管であり、プローブの移動を可能にし、流体をプローブに運び、あるいは流体をプローブから取り除く、フレキシブルなコンジットに、プローブの入口端が固定される。プローブの壁に及ぼされる摩擦力を克服するのに十分な第2の力を与えることによって、初期位置からプローブを移動させる。第2の力がプローブに与えられなくなると、摩擦力がプローブを新しい位置に保持する。
