The technique of pick up and transfer of nanoscaled particles from the surface of a non-conductive substrate using a tungsten tip irradiated with focused electron beam is experimentally presented. The proposed technique of manipulation is implemented in a scanning electron microscope and allows to manipulate nanoparticles, with continuous visualization of the transfer process in real-time. The mechanism of the manipulation process is presented, which is based on the electrostatic interaction of charges produced by an electron beam in the tip, particle and substrate.
