摘要 |
The invention relates to a sample holding system for a microscope, comprising a sample chamber which has an upper opening and is filled with an immersion liquid, and in which a sample embedded in a transparent embedding compound is placed in a holder. The sample holding system also comprises means for the translatory movement of the sample in relation to a detection objective of the microscope, and means for rotating the sample about an essentially vertical rotational axis in a plane forming an angle different from zero with the optical axis of the detection objective. The means for rotating the sample in such a sample holding system comprise a rotational drive provided with a magnetic coupling or a belt drive and/or toothed wheel rotational drive arranged above the sample chamber, said drives transmitting the rotational movement to the holder, or the rotational movement is generated directly by the movement of the entire sample chamber.
