Abstract
A mount for a scanning probe sensor package () comprises a support structure () defining a plane within the mount and at least one movable snap joint element () designed for interacting with a respective counterpart () in a scanning probe sensor package (). The snap joint element () is movable to a first position in which it exerts a force on a mounted scanning probe sensor package () so as to force said scanning probe sensor package () in a normal direction of said plane towards the support structure () and to a second position in which it allows a scanning probe sensor package () to be mounted to or dismounted from the support structure () along normal direction of said plane.
