Abstract:
1. A manipulator for manipulating a component in an optical or particle-optical apparatus, the manipulator comprising: a spatially-fixed part; a transfer body accommodating said component and being mounted so as to be movable relative to said spatially-fixed part; said spatially-fixed part and said component conjointly defining a connecting axis; said transfer body containing a thermally anisotropic composite material having a first thermal conductivity in a first direction and a second thermal conductivity in a second direction and said first thermal conductivity being higher than said second thermal conductivity; and, said composite material being disposed in said transfer body so that said first direction of said first thermal conductivity is aligned in the direction of said connecting axis, wherein said component is mounted onto said composite material of said transfer body and wherein said first thermal conductivity is larger than the thermal conductivity of copper.
