## Abstract The specimen holder for scanning electron microscopy described herein allows a single specimen to be examined in any possible view and significantly improves object illumination. The specimen is glued to a fine pin and flexibly mounted on a doubleβsided adhesive conductive pad on a rota
In electron optics laboratories where biological specimens are processed, particularly in service laboratories, there is a need to be able to fix, dehydrate, and critical point dry samples of various sizes and to process from one to several samples at a time. This need is dealt with in various ways
