<div style="direction: ltr;">In our case it is the second type with the “feet” tool. That corresponds to the “626-70” holder. In the first case ( the tool with the threaded end) it’s the 626-60 holder. We have one of the 626-60 holders too, but did this successful
test with the 626-70 holder only.</div>

<div class="">What type of the 626 holder are you using?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">-One type has phosphor bronze clip ring that appears a bit slanted on the side that faces the grid. The inside of the clip ring has threads. The tool used to put them in place and remove them is a rod with a blunt end and a threaded end.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">-The other type uses Be clip rings that are more flat. The clip rings resemble the Krios clip rings in that the Be ring has a raised portion on the outer diameter. The tool used to insert and remove them has small “feet” that the user spreads
out to about 180 degrees to hook against the clip ring to manipulate it.</div>

<div class="">Regarding my earlier post about a side entry holder for autogrids, here's a simple hack. The autogrid cassette sits comfortably in the 626-70 holder tip with the c-clip facing upwards. The Gatan clip ring then fits in nicely upside down, like
a top hat, and snaps into place with the autogrid trapped underneath. I tried this at room temperature and couldn't shake or tap it out. We tested in cryo and the grid remained vitrified. There's some restriction of the area accessible for tomography that
might be remedied with a larger hole in the clip ring. <br class="">

<div dir="ltr" class="">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.</div>

<div class="">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?</div>
