Sample substrates
- Si3N4 windows (frame: 5x5 mm, 200 um thick; window: 1.5-2 mm, 200 -500 nm thick)
- EM grids (3 mm diameter)
Cryogenic carriers
We have designed and 3D printed carriers (shown below) for shipping and transferring cryogenic samples. If you would like to print them at your institutes, please find the STL files here for both the base and lid. This design requires a tap through the hole in the base and a screw installed to hold the lid (e.g. a #2-56 tap and the associated socket head cap screw). We have been using a rigid resin (e.g. Rigid 4000 Resin 1 L).
To ship the samples to the APS, please address your package as follow:
