  • Microsection sample stabilizer
    Patent number: 11372227
    Abstract: A microsection sample stabilizer for aligning and stabilizing a microsection sample for microscopic inspection includes a frame including a base and at least one leveling portion supported by the base. The at least one leveling portion can define a viewing window for a microscope. The microsection sample stabilizer includes an interior region within the frame, and at least one compliant device operable within the interior region of the frame and operable to be supported by the base. The compliant device receives and supports the microsection sample, and biases the microsection sample against the at least one leveling portion of the frame to stabilize the microsection sample, such that an examination plane surface of the microsection sample is aligned and viewable through the viewing window by the microscope.
