Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008037305A1] The invention relates to an apparatus for picking up, transporting and depositing microscopic samples. Such an apparatus comprises at least one interchangeable adhesive body as well as a gripping tool for picking up, transporting and depositing the adhesive body, wherein the adhesive body has at least one outwardly curved surface which is at least partially adhesive with respect to the sample. The invention also relates to a method for transferring a microscopic sample from a sample location to a depositing location. In the case of such a method, a gripping tool picks up an adhesive body having an at least partially outwardly curved surface which is at least partially adhesive with respect to the sample. The gripping tool then guides the adhesive body over the sample. The at least partially curved surface of the adhesive body is then brought into contact with the sample, and, when being removed from the sample location, the sample adheres to the surface of the adhesive body and is finally deposited at the depositing location.
