Sample Holder

Caption

A nylon fibre (light blue), deposited on the carbon carrier (grey), lifts up the crystal (red). This way, the crystal's side face becomes visible to the electron beam (blue). Without the fibre (right figure), the crystal lies flat on the carbon and the metal bar of the sample holder (marbled) occludes the signal.
