SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING SAMPLE

Systems and methods for transferring a sample from a transmission electron microscope (TEM) column are described herein. In one aspect, a method may include transferring a sample positioned in a holder enclosure of a TEM sample holder from a vacuum chamber of a TEM into a load lock of the TEM; filling the load lock with a protective gas; the retainer enclosure is used for sealing the TEM sample retainer under the shielding gas; and removing the TEM sample holder from the load lock. 本文描述了用于从透射电子显微镜(TEM)柱转移样本的系统和方法。在一个方面中，一种方法可包括：将定位在TEM样本保持器的保持器封壳中的样本从TEM的真空腔室转移到该TEM的负载锁中；用保护气体填充该负载锁；在该保护气体下密封该TEM样本保持器的该保持器封壳；以及从该负载锁移除该TEM样本保持器。
