Individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes were mounted on tungsten support tips in a scanning electron microscope equipped with a nanomanipulator. It was possible to select the diameter of the nanotube to align the nanotube with respect to the tip axis and to tune the contact length of the nanotube and the support tip. We have also developed a way to control the length of the nanotube protruding from the support tip. Control over the nature of the nanotube cap was not obtained.
