Abstract
A device for use in transferring a specimen from an apparatus containing a cryogenic coolant, comprises a specimen holder and coolant transfer means. The coolant transfer means permits coolant from within the apparatus to be introduced into the specimen holder in order to immerse a specimen within the specimen holder in the coolant. This enables the specimen holder to be transferred to another apparatus, while the specimen is kept cool by the coolant.
