[3dem] FFT question

Hi,
if the effect shows up with one out of two cryo holders only (is the
room temperature holder giving good FFTs?) , than most likely something
is wrong with that holder. One reason might be that the clip ring does
not clamp the grid properly. Do you always use the same clip ring with
each holder? Did you check the that holder at room temperature? If OK at
RT, something might be wrong with the thermal bridge between the dewar
and the tip. Is the cut-off always in the same direction?
Best,
Thorsten
