Author(s) : ROBARDS A. W., CROSBY P.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

REQUIREMENTS FOR LOW TEMPERATURE SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY ARE DISCUSSED ; AND THEN IS DESCRIBED CONSTRUCTION OF A VACUUM TRANSFER DEVICE THAT CAN BE INTERFACED WITH A CAMBRIDGE S600 SEM. THE SAMPLES ARE FROZEN ON A COPPER STUB, IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN INTO THE VACUUM TRANSFER DEVICE, TRANSPORTED TO THE COLD TABLE OF A SPECIALLY DESIGNED FRACTURE/COATING CHAMBER, FRACTURED AND SPUTTER COATED, AGAIN WITHDRAWN INTO THE TRANSFER DEVICE AND PLACED ON THE COLD, TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED STAGE OF THE SEM. USING COLDARGON GAS, SPUTTER COATING HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT DAMAGE.
