Abstract
Parts of a pair, in use, are disposed in abutting relation to one another to define a cell for use with an electron microscope, the cell having, disposed on opposite surfaces thereof, a pair of windows, the windows being arranged in spaced relation to one another to define a viewable interior volume of the cell at a region of overlap. The spaced relation being determined by additional opposite surfaces with minimal contact area to warrant reproducible liquid thicknesses.
Claims22
Apparatus for use with an electron microscope and for receiving a liquid sample and/or in-liquid sample droplet, the apparatus comprising:
- a pair of parts which, in use, are disposed in abutting relation to one another to define a cell for use with said microscope, the cell having:
- disposed on opposite surfaces thereof, a pair of windows, the windows being arranged in spaced relation to one another;
- to define:
- a viewable interior volume of the cell at the region of overlap and the height of a cavity;
- the cavity communicating with the viewable interior volume of the cell;
- the volume of the cavity, in combination with the viewable interior volume, being larger than the volume of the droplet, the spaced relation being determined by additional opposite surfaces with minimal contact area between them.
