CT3500TR Tilt-Rotate Cryo-Transfer Holder

TEM cryo-transfer holders are mainly used to reduce specimen damage caused by the electron beam. Sensitive biological and polymer specimens are rapidly frozen, loaded into the cryo-transfer holder in a special liquid nitrogen cooled workstation and transferred to the microscope goniometer. Specimens are protected from frost and warming during transfer by a shutter, which totally encloses the specimen. By adding the possibility to rotate the specimen within the holder it is now possible to take series of through tilt images of known angular relationship, thus improving data for 3D reconstruction. 2D crystals may also be aligned.

Optimised specimen loading

Motorised specimen rotation

Secure specimen clamping system

Please note: Tilt ranges of specimen holders vary according to the manufacturer, model, pole piece and the presence of in-gap accessories of the TEM used. When ordering, please specify the TEM make, model, pole piece, configuration of the EDX detector and local line voltage requirements. Gatan Inc. Etc.
