For easily handling and mounting of section ribbons. The mounting of the manipulator is easy. The original plate on the cryochamber is removed, the manipulator is fixed in 5 minutes.
Applications
- Frozen hydrated biological samples (CEMOVIS)
- Room temperature sectioning of water sensitive samples
- Dry resin sectioning of biological samples for chemical analysis
- Dry sectioning of industrial samples such as polymers
Functionality
- The left manipulator moves a conductive fibre on which the sections are attached by electrostatic force; the growing ribbon is guided.
- The right manipulator guides the grid very precisely below the section ribbon, the sections are attached to the carbon film with electrostatic force.
Compatibility
- Leica cryochambers FC6 and FC7 equipped with a Crion ionizer/charger
- adaption on other cryochambers upon request
