Abstract: A micromanipulator for the movement of an object relative to a treatment or analyzing position so that at least a part of the surface of the object can be treated or analyzed. The micromanipulator possesses a plurality of kinematic elements which support the object or an object holder and which, for this purpose, are equipped with a support for the object or the object holder. For the implementation of micromovements, the kinematic elements are piezo-electrically displaceable. The object is supported on at least one of the kinematic elements in such a manner that there can also be concurrently implemented micromovement and macromovements normal to the treatment or analysis plane of the object.
