<p>An ultra-high tilt cryotransfer holder is provided which is capable of rotating a specimen through a full 360° tilt angle (180° from horizontal in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions) without spillage of cryogenic liquid, and while maintaining proper protection and cooling of the specimen. The cryotransfer holder includes a holder body having a specimen tip and a source of cooling for the specimen tip. The specimen tip includes a specimen grid of a thermally conductive material which has a plurality of grid openings between crossing grid bars. The grid may be extended from the holder into a forward viewing position or retracted into a protected position within a cryoshield.</p> |
