Systems, devices, and methods for restraining a micro-object are provided. In one aspect, a micro-object restraint device is provided having a micro-barrier structure coupled to a support substrate, where the micro-barrier structure has two micro-object holding regions. Each micro-object holding region includes a micro-object receiving opening defined in the micro-barrier structure, a micro-object impeding opening at an internal region of the micro-barrier structure, and at least two contact points positioned adjacent to the micro-object impeding opening and oriented to contact and impede a micro-object at the micro-object opening. The two micro-object holding regions abut one another and the micro-object openings from the two micro-object holding regions are continuous.
