Abstract
A method for aligning a first article relative to a second article. The second article is provided with at least one flexible structure fixed to the second article at one point while the first article includes at least one surface relief marking. A detector measures the interaction between the flexible structure and surface relief marking and generates detector signals relative to that interaction to achieve alignment between the first and second articles.
