  • Publication number: 20230326707
    Abstract: An object receiving container may receive an object which is examinable, analyzable and/or processable at cryo-temperatures. An object holding system may comprise an object receiving container. A beam apparatus or an apparatus for processing an object may comprise an object receiving container or an object holding system. An object may be examined, analyzed and/or processed using an object receiving container or an object holding system.

  • Publication number: 20220193819
    Abstract: A material processing system includes a particle beam column for directing a particle beam at a first processing region and a laser scanner for directing a laser beam at a second processing region. A method for operating the material processing system includes: scanning a first mark placed on an object with the particle beam; scanning the first mark with the laser beam for a first time and producing a second mark on the object with the laser beam; scanning the second mark with the particle beam; and scanning the first mark with the laser beam for a second time and removing material of the object with the laser beam based on the scanning of the second mark with the particle beam.

  • Patent number: 11347043
    Abstract: A particle beam apparatus and/or a light microscope is operated. A first temperature of an object may be changed, where the object may be arranged on an object receiving device rendered movable by a motor operated by a supply current. Changing the first temperature of the object may alter a second temperature of the object-receiving device from a first temperature value to a second temperature value. The supply current of the motor may be changed from a first current value to a second current value, where the supply current is designed to hold the object-receiving device in position, and a temperature of the object-receiving device may be changed from the second temperature value to a third temperature value on account of heat generated by the motor, which may be obtained by the second current value of the supply current and fed to the object receiving device.

  • Patent number: 7157411
    Abstract: This invention relates to odor neutralizers comprising esters of the formula (I) wherein R1 is an alkyl radical with 1 to 4 carbon atoms which can optionally contain a double bond; R2 is a hydrogen or an alkyl radical with 1 to 3 carbon atoms which can optionally contain a double bond; R3 is a hydrogen or a methyl radical substituted by the alkyl radicals R9 and R10; R4 is a hydrogen, a methyl radical or an acyloxy radical of the general formula O—CO—R1 wherein R1 has the abovementioned meaning; R5, R6, R7, R8 and R10 are identical or different and is hydrogen or methyl; R9 is a hydrogen and R4 and R9 can together represent a single carbon bond or a methylene or an ethylene bridge,with the proviso that i) in the case of cyclohexyl esters in which R1=methyl, R2=isopropyl, R5=methyl and R6=hydrogen, the substituents R2 and R5 are arranged in a cis relationship to each other; ii) in the case of cyclohexyl esters in which R2=isopropenyl, R5=methyl and R6=hydrogen, the substituent R1 is an alkyl group with at leas

  • Patent number: 7119344
    Abstract: An electron beam device having a specimen holder, in particular for a transmission electron microscope (TEM), which makes it possible to identify the specimen holder in a simple manner is described. Therefore, the electron beam device has at least one specimen holder having at least one holding element for holding a specimen and at least one identification unit. Furthermore, the electron beam device has a reading unit for reading the identification unit without contact, a goniometer, into which the specimen holder may be inserted, and a controller for controlling the movement modes of the goniometer, via which the movement modes of the goniometer are controlled on the basis of the identification data supplied by the identification unit and of corresponding data stored in the controller.
