CANTILEVER STRUCTURES

摘要

The present invention concerns a cantilever arrangement for scanning a surface (16). This arrangement comprises a first cantilever (11) having a first probe (14) and a second cantilever (13) having a second probe (15). Both cantilevers (11, 13) are mechanically coupled such that the second cantilever (13) follows the movement of the first cantilever (11), i.e. the deflection of the first cantilever (11) defines the deflection of the second cantilever (13).
