Patent ID: 7511510

Claim:
A system for obtaining data from a predetermined area of an object having electrical properties, said system comprising: a holder holding said object, said holder comprising an insulating material and at least one conductor extending above said object from said insulating material, said at least one conductor electrically connected to multiple different conductive structures in said predetermined area of said object so that an electrical stimulus applied to said at least one conductor of said holder electrically biases said predetermined area; and a multi-probe assembly comprising: a common reference point; and a plurality of arms extending from said common reference point, wherein each of said arms comprise a probe with an implement adapted to evaluate said object by one of sensing a parameter and applying an energy source, and wherein one of said common attachment point and said plurality of arms is adapted to be moved so as to allow said implement from each one of said arms to evaluate said object at a same fixed location within said predetermined area.
