A versatile cryo-transfer system, connecting cryogenic focused ion beam sample preparation to atom probe microscopy
Fig 5
Modifications were made to a LEAP to enable cryo/environmental transfers.
a) The rendered CAD drawing indicates the modifications to the LEAP, described in the text. A detailed view of the cryogenic-stage, is shown in b) with a custom LEAP shuttle in place as it would be during the hand-off of the sample and double nipple from the ACTD. The region highlighted with an orange box in a) is shown in c) to illustrate the movement of the cryo-stage from the perspective of the analysis chamber. d) A photo shows in detail the connection of the ACTD to the LEAP.
