Abstract
A device is provided for transferring a pattern to an object. The device may be used for transferring a pattern, such as micro- or nanostructures, from a stamp to an object. In accordance with one embodiment, the device comprises a first contacting means with a receiving surface for the stamp and a second contacting means with a receiving surface for the object. The device may further include a pressing means that is adapted to operate at least one of the contacting means for contacting the stamp with the object. One of the contacting means may include a base and a holder. The holder has a first end which defines one of the receiving surfaces and a second opposite end which is pivotally connected to the base in such a manner that the stamp and the object are automatically placed in a parallel position when contacting each other.
