Abstract
The present invention relates to a cryopreparation chamber (100) for preparing and manipulating a sample for electron microscopy, the cryopreparation chamber (100) being cooled by a primary cryogen, the cryopreparation chamber (100) including a first and a second chamber portion (101,102), the second chamber portion (102) being detachably placeable (101) on the first chamber portion (101), and moreover, the second chamber portion (102) being provided, in its outer wall (106), with an access port (107) through which a specimen holder (108) for an electron microscope can be inserted into the cryopreparation chamber (100). The present invention also relates to a cryopreparation device (200) which is suitable for cryopreparing a sample for an electron microscope and includes such a cryopreparation chamber (100).
