Abstract:
1. A mount for a scanning probe sensor package, the mount comprising: a support structure defining a plane within said mount; at least one movable snap joint element designed for interacting with a respective counterpart in a scanning probe sensor package, at least one resilient member for providing a biasing force biasing said at least one snap joint element towards a first position in which it projects in radial direction towards the center of said plane, and for exerting a force towards said support structure so as to force a mounted scanning probe sensor package towards said plane through said at least one snap joint, and wherein the snap joint element is movable against the biasing force provided by said at least one resilient member to a second position which is radially further away from the center of said plane as said first position and in which it allows a scanning probe sensor package to be mounted to or dismounted from said support structure along a normal direction of said plane.
