Method and apparatus for manipulation and analysis teardrop samples in vacuo

It is described (1) and movement of the sample along trajectories (3) a method for the manipulation of drop-shaped sample (1) comprising the steps of producing a fluid jet (2), conversion of the liquid jet (2) in a sequence of individual, drop-shaped samples the direction of an electric and / or magnetic state of the respective sample (1) depends, in which take place the production and conversion of the liquid jet and the movement of the sample (1) under vacuum. There are also described a manipulation apparatus (100) for performing the method and applications of the method.
