[3dem] 626 holder cliprings - 60º VS. 70º

[Garry P Morgan]

hello all,

i have a question about the different clip-rings for Gatan 626 cryo-holders. my experience is limited to the 70º rings (1st picture below), and i was not even aware of the 60º cliprings (until we mistakenly ordered/received some new ones).  are there any 626 users out there who can give me an opinion on the 60º cliprings? are these better for acquiring 0º-tilt data and is there any difference in the aluminum vs. phosphor-bronze?

thanks,
Garry
