5.0 Pincer Grip Wobble Sticks
Pincer grip wobble sticks are intended for 'in-vacuum' handle' and transfer of specimens (see figure
5). The pincer grip is designed to handle specimens between 11mm and 14mm in diameter by 0.5mm
to 1.2mm thick. It is removable, as an assembly, from the wobble stick, thus offering the possibility of
alternate grips or end fittings being used.
Figure 5 - The WS75/130 wobble sticks
A cassette capable of holding up to 11 un-mounted specimens is available for use with pincer grip
wobble sticks (see section 5.7 and figure 6), thus permitting the bulk handling and movement of
specimens within the vacuum system. The twelfth station of the cassette is fitted with a 'gripping post'
to enable the loaded cassette to be handled by the pincer grip.
