    摘要: A sample holder for holding a sample carrier carrying a sample includes a sample carrier fixing element. The sample carrier fixing element includes a first section configured, when in a first position, to fix the sample carrier to the sample holder, and, when in a second position, to release the sample carrier or to provide access to an area where the sample carrier is to be located. The sample carrier fixing element also includes a second section different from the first section, the second section being operable such that upon operation of the second section the first section switches from the first position into the second position or from the second position into the first position.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a device (10) for preparing a microscopic sample (1) for a high-pressure freezing process in which the sample (1) is provided using an arrangement comprising a middle plate (33) of a high-pressure freezing cartridge (30) and an incubation chamber (100, 200), the middle plate (33) being attached to the incubation chamber (100, 200) and being detachable from the incubation chamber (100, 200) by effecting a relative movement between the middle plate (33) and the incubation chamber (100, 200), and the sample (1) being provided on an enclosing element (37) which is fitted into an opening (36) of the middle plate (33), wherein the device (10) comprises an engagement structure (11, 21) adapted to engage with the middle plate (33) and to restrict a movement of the middle plate (33) while the incubation chamber (100, 200) is moved, such as to effect said relative movement between the middle plate (33) and the incubation chamber (100, 200) and to thereby detach the middle plate (33) from the incubation chamber (100, 200). Also, an incubation chamber (100, 200), a middle plate (33) of a high-pressure freezing cartridge (30), an arrangement comprising these components, and a corresponding method are part of the present disclosure.

    摘要: A microtome system has a cryomicrotome with a sectioning device in which is provided a preparation holder and a knife edge that are guided past one another inside a working space during a sectioning operation, in order to produce thin sections of a preparation retained in the preparation holder. A micromanipulator is operable outside the working space. With the micromanipulator, a tool for retention of a specimen support is positioned proximate the knife edge during a sectioning operation in order to receive the sections that are produced, preferably for substantially stationary retention of the specimen support.

    摘要: In a device (1) for rapid pressure-freezing an aqueous sample (3), such as a biological specimen, a pressurized cooling medium can be fed into a high-pressure chamber (11) into which a sample holder (30) containing a sample (3) is inserted and which is sealed with a pressure-tight seal, to the location of the sample holder (30) held therein. The high-pressure chamber (11) comprises a viewing window structure (2) with a pressure-tight window (20), through which light can be directed from the outside onto the sample (3) located in the sample holder (30). The window (20) can comprise a transparent window element made of a high-pressure-resistant material, wherein the window element (20) is held by a pressure- and temperature-resistant window bearing provided in the high-pressure chamber.

    摘要: A sample holder for holding a sample carrier for carrying a microscopic sample is provided. The sample holder includes a clamping arrangement with an upper leg and a lower leg. The clamping arrangement is configured to clamp the sample carrier between the upper leg and the lower leg, such that a part of the sample carrier is clamped between respective first ends of the upper leg and the lower leg. The clamping arrangement is also configured to be actuated by an external force such that the respective first ends of the upper and lower leg are separated from each other. The clamping arrangement is also configured to exert a clamping force via the respective first ends of the upper and lower leg to the sample carrier to clamp the sample carrier between the upper and lower leg, when the clamping arrangement is not actuated by the external force.
