A method for forming at least a first primary droplet onto a primary fiber includes arranging part of the primary fiber into a reserve of liquid or viscous polymer based material so the primary fiber extends through and on both sides of the reserve. The primary fiber and/or the reserve move relative to each other so a first part of the primary fiber moves out from the reserve with a first primary velocity, forming a first primary layer of the liquid or viscous polymer based material onto the first part of the primary fiber. The first primary layer of the liquid or viscous polymer based material is allowed to form a first primary droplet onto the primary fiber holding the primary fiber relative to the reserve or moving the primary fiber and/or the reserve relative to each other with a first secondary velocity less than the first primary velocity.

Method and a device for forming a droplet or droplets onto a fibre

A micromanipulator for positioning/localization of an operating instrument coupled therewith. The micromanipulator controls movement of the operating instrument in a single- or multi-axial system of coordinates with one or more electrical actuators. The electrical actuators are especially for providing a substantially elongated structure for the micromanipulator. The one or more actuators including a piezoelectric bender enable the positioning/localization of the operating instrument for providing at least one desired direction of motion.
