A method for measuring structures of an object using a feeler element associated with a coordinate measuring instrument and extending from an elastic bendable feeler extension is disclosed, and wherein the feeler element is brought into contact with an object having structures to be measured and the position of the feeler is then determined by comparing the position of the feeler as determined by the coordinate measuring instrument with the position determined by the optical sensor.
