Abstract
A specimen holder has two levers on which probes for current measurement are carried. The levers are in contact with a spherical body, the spherical body acting as a pivotal point. When the levers are pushed by micrometer heads, the probes move in the X-direction. When the levers are pulled, the probes are pushed back by springs and move in the −X-direction. When the first lever is pushed by a further micrometer head, the first probe rotates about the spherical body and thus moves in the Y-direction. When the first lever is pulled, the first probe is pushed back by the first spring and moves in the −Y-direction. The second probe is moved along the Y-axis by similarly manipulating a further micrometer head. The two probes can be moved along the Z-axis by similarly manipulating other micrometer heads.
