[3dem] [External] Re: side entry holder for autogrids?

[Mariena Silvestry Ramos]

It's the Gatan 910 holder. If you look at the archives, there are a couple of threads over the years discussing its design and performance. It can be a bit tricky, but I haven't dropped the cartridge in our T12, and we can quickly load it and check for ice conditions before taking it to one of the bigger scopes.


Feel free to reach out if you want more info on performance, etc.

Hi,


    ​I believe that Gatan does currently sell a 3 grid cryo-holder similar to the 626.  I can't remember the product number, but perhaps someone from Gatan can jump into this conversation.

Hi Michael,

I’ve discussed this with Chris Booth from Gatan some time ago, a multiple cartridge side entry holder will for sure also help a lot of people with side-entry screening systems, preparing for later data collection  in central facilities. With other people’s ideas for cheap side-entry low-kv screening tools, this could be quite a market.

Best,

Hi all,    wondering if anyone has heard/thought/dreamed of a side entry holder for clipped grids? This would be very useful in mixed company (of microscopes, of course), and could enable analysis of grids post-tomography by non-standard methods such as EDS. Perhaps someone has experience in modifying a 626 tip for the purpose?
regards,
Michael
