The probe device comprises a fibre segment having a relatively thick upper region terminating at its lower extremity in a first tapered region that terminates in a cylindrical intermediate region. The cylindrical intermediate region terminates at its lower extremity in a second tapered region that terminates in a lowest cylindrical region. The upper region, the cylindrical intermediate region and the lowest cylindrical region have maximum widths that monotonically decrease. The lowest cylindrical region has a maximum width in the approximate range of 0.01 microns to 150 microns and terminating at its lower extremity in a planar end surface oriented perpendicular to the axis of the lowest cylindrical region. The intermediate cylindrical region has a height and a maximum width in a ratio in the approximate rate of 1 to 100.
