Zusammenfassung:	An object is mounted on a surface of a sample carrier. Properties of the surface of the object are measured and/or modified by means of a plurality of independently movable heads, each comprising a microscopic probe. The heads being located between the surface of a reference grid plate and the surface of the sample carrier. Head specific target locations are selected for the heads. Each head is moved over the surface of the reference grid plate, to the target location of the head. During movement a position of the head is determined from markings on the reference grid plate sensed by sensor in the head. When the sensor has indicated that the head is at the target location selected for the head a force between the head and the reference grid plate is switched to seat and/or clamp the head on the reference grid plate.
