A local probe measuring device is provided for effecting local measurements of a sample. This device includes first and second local probes for local measurements with respect to a sample or a reference surface. A measurement condition adjustment arrangement is adapted to commonly adjust first and second measurement conditions of the respective first and second local probes with respect to the sample or the reference surface. A detection arrangement is provided that includes a first detection arrangement associated with the first local probe adapted to independently detect first measurement data referring to local measurements reflected by first local probe and a second detection arrangement associated with the second local probe adapted to independently detect second measurement data referring to local measurements effected by second local probe. Further, methods for effecting local measurements and local manipulations using multiple local probes are provided.

Multiple local probe measuring device and method

A local probe measuring device is provided for effecting local measurements of a sample. This device includes first and second local probes for local measurements with respect to a sample or a reference surface. A measurement condition adjustment arrangement is adapted to commonly adjust first and second measurement conditions of the respective first and second local probes with respect to the sample or the reference surface. A detection arrangement is provided that includes first detection arrangement associated with the first local probe adapted to independently detect first measurement data referring to local measurements reflected by first local probe and a second detection arrangement associated with the second local probe adapted to independently detect second measurement data referring to local measurements effected by second local probe. Further, methods for effecting local measurements and local manipulations using multiple local probes are provided.

The invention provides a local probe measuring device for effecting local measurements refering to a sample, comprising a plurality of local probes for local measurements with respect to a sample or a reference surface, a measurement condition adjustment arrangement adapted to commonly adjust measurement conditions of said local probes with respect to the sample or the reference surface, a plurality of detection arrangements, each being associated or adapted to be associated to one particular of said local probes and adapted to independently detect measurement data refering to local measurements effected by said particular local probe. Further, methods for effecting local measurements and local manipulations by means of multiple local probes are provided.
