Claim:
1. A microfluidic surface processing device, comprising: a microfluidic probe head having, on a face, at least one aperture, including at least an outlet aperture; a processing structure extending outward and perpendicular with respect to the face, the processing structure being dimensioned and located with respect to the outlet aperture such that the processing structure intercepts a flowpath of liquid dispensed via the outlet aperture; and a cantilever connected to the microfluidic probe head, wherein the processing structure is a probe tip terminating the cantilever, the cantilever is a scanning probe microscope cantilever, and wherein the cantilever is anchored to the microfluidic probe head, and wherein the cantilever is fixed via a fixed portion at the face, the fixed portion being distant from the probe tip, and the cantilever further including a free portion that extends opposite to the probe tip with respect to a main axis of the cantilever and configured to seal one of the apertures when urged against the cantilever.
