Fabricated cantilevers like pushpin removers used in an atomic force microscope allow the manipulation (picking up or putting down) of micro‐objects. A customized cantilever with an appropriate spring constant also allows for the detection of the adhesion force between micro‐objects and a surface, even if these objects are tightly bound.
