An apparatus and a method for guiding the placement of an object to a
desired location based on an image generated by an image intensifier
where the apparatus includes a first coupling mechanism that is
configured to be releaseably attachable to one of the transmitter and
receiver of the image intensifier and a second coupling mechanism that is
coupled to the first coupling mechanism and includes an object holding
mechanism, the object holding mechanism is configured to releaseably hold
the object and where at least a portion of the second coupling mechanism
is visible in the image generated by the image intensifier when the
apparatus is attached to the image intensifier.
