Specimen preparation method for preparing a specimen for electron microscope examinations places a specimen with a substrate in a vacuum chamber to apply a coating and ion beam

摘要

A specimen containing a substrate (10) is placed in a vacuum chamber (32) for its preparation. A protective coating (21) is applied to a carrier surface for the specimen, which, when under the protective coating, is separated from the substrate by an ion beam (19). - Independent claims are also included for the following: - (A) A transmission electron microscope specimen carrier; - (B) and for a holder with two micro-mechanical tong elements; - (C) and for a glass capillary vessel in tension.
