I made a probe holder for my scope probe, and the scope probe tip is a fine-pitch spring-loaded tip so makes probing very easy. Here's an image (I forget why the background is removed, sorry it makes it looks like it's floating, I must have wanted to use this for something else):
I've got some details including a video here:
http://colinoflynn.com/2014/01/making-a-simple-scope-probe-holder/ . The base is a 'magnetic base' which you can get at all sorts of places, and is available in various sizes. I've got some smaller ones now.
The probe itself is a PicoScope probe, but is available from most of the manufactures too under their own name. Here's a comparison to a normal scope probe tip:
The probe is the same as these ones:
*PicoScope TA150 (350-MHz bandwidth)
*PicoScope TA133 (500-MHz bandwidth)
*Agilent N287xA
*Teledyne LeCroy PP007
*Rohde & Schwarz RTM-ZP10 (NB: this is very slightly different possibly, the others are clearly all made by the same manufacture though)
One nice feature of the above probes is they sell little caps which make it easier to probe QFP packages too:
So it's possible to vaguely hold the probe with one hand that way
See for example
Lecroy's accessory list, but again they are the same upstream supplier that is making all of them. There is also a nice ground blade that connects to a piece of copper tape you mount on the IC for your ground connection when using the caps.
It's not the exact same (i.e. the above accessories DO NOT fit), but see Pomema Electronics part # 6491 - 6503, which are similar probes in terms of stabby sprining ends, but are much lower cost to buy separately.
