Various specialized specimen holders for 3D imaging and in-situ experiments. Many of them were developed in collaboration with Mel-Build Co. (Fukuoka, Japan).

Anaerobic Glove Box

Reactive specimens can be handled/treated under inert gasses atmosphere using this glove box setup. Then, they will be loaded in a dedicated specimen holder to be transferred into a specific microscope without exposing to the atmosphere.
