Once samples have been prepared on TEM grids and checked in the offline SEM, samples can be loaded in the custom sample holders. Grids are carefully placed in the 3mm diameter hole, where there is a small ledge to hold the grids in a place. A cicrclip is then inserted on top of the grid, compressing and holding the grid in place within the holder.
Once grids have been placed in the sample holders they are ready to be loaded into the sample cartridge for loading onto the beamline. The catridge holds 5 sample, and is loaded in a custom foam dewar designed to fit the beamline loading station.
