  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSERTING A SAMPLE INTO A CHAMBER
    Publication number: 20210331151
    Abstract: A sample insertion system (10) comprises a channel (12), a sealing element (16) and a vacuum device (18). The channel (12) has a port (14) connectable to a chamber such as a cryostat. The vacuum device (18) may decrease a pressure in the channel (12). The sealing element (16) is arranged in the channel (12) and seals off a volume (V) from the channel. The sealing element (16) comprises a carrier member to carry a sample. The sealing element (16) is configured to move the carrier member towards the port (14) in response to the pressure in the channel (12) decreasing below a pressure in the volume (V) sealed-off by the sealing element (16). This may help reducing an access time when inserting the sample into the chamber.
