A handling device for thin sections, in particular cryosections, which serves as a multifunctional device for transferring, pressing and holding the thin sections. The device possesses a holder for at least one carrier grid, this holder comprising a baseplate and a positively-guided cover plate which can be moved onto the baseplate. In addition, means are provided for the purpose of clamping the cover plate against the baseplate and hence against a thin section which is present on the carrier grid. A separate holder-plate is preferably detachably located in the baseplate, the carrier grid being permanently attached to this holder-plate, which is matched, in shape and dimensions, to the specimen holder of the electron microscope. <IMAGE> |
