The invention relates to a method for spatially manipulating a microscopic object including providing a cantilever () having a tip with an opening () and a microchannel () extending through the cantilever () in its longitudinal direction. A suspension means is provided for holding the cantilever () and spatially moving the cantilever along a predetermined spatial path. A pressurizing means is provided for applying a predetermined pressure to the microchannel () and the cantilever () is moved with its tip to the microscopic object to be spatially manipulated. At least a part of the microscopic object is picked up with said cantilever () by reducing the pressure within the microchannel () relative to the pressure outside the tip of the cantilever (). The microscopic object is then moved along a predetermined spatial path by means of the cantilever ().
