Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19629143A1] The invention concerns a device for transferring micro objects, in particular biological objects, from their present substrate (9) to a target substrate. To that end, a movable pipette system is used which is connected to a pressure-generating device for drawing in and expelling the biological objects. The pipette system is disposed in a micromanipulator (3) and in principle comprises a substantially vertical microcapillary tube (1) with an inside width of between 1 mu m and 50 mu m.
