  • Device and method for preparing specimens
    Patent number: 8164072
    Abstract: A method and a device for preparing specimens for a cryo-electron microscope are described. A carrier is fixed to a holder, sample liquid is applied to the carrier, and a blotting device for removing excess sample liquid from the carrier by means of the absorbing medium is applied. The absorbing medium is illuminated with light and a change in the optical properties of the absorbing medium is detected by means of an optical sensor device. A control moves the blotting away from the carrier depending on a change in the detected optical properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 11, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 24, 2012
