The device for transfer of section ribbons to specimen holders for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has two mutually independent tools (4) and (17) firstly to manipulate the section ribbons and secondly to manipulate the specimen holders (grids), each of which can be positioned independently during the cutting process by two mutually independent micromanipulators (3) and (10). The tool (4) for manipulating the section ribbons (24) has a metal tube (13), a tube of an electrically insulating material (14) and an exchangeable tip (5). A resilient fibre (16) of dielectric material fitted with an electrically conductive surface coating is exchangeably mounted in the tip (5) and is used for delicate handling of the section ribbons. |
