Abstract
An assembly for holding a microscopy sample for storage, observation, manipulation, characterization and/or study of the sample using a microscopy instrument is provided. The assembly includes mating first and second parts having faces between which a microscopy sample, including a TEM grid mounted sample, is secured. A spring is used to provide compression between the faces. A rotatable member such as a threaded screw is operable to draw the parts apart from one another. An annular wall functions to protect microscopy samples held in the assembly from damage.
