Assembly of the Sample Holder
Depending on the size of the sample there are two different types of sample holders available: sample
holder for capillaries (inner diameter of capillary size 1 / ~0.68 mm, size 2 / ~1 mm, size 3/ ~1.5 mm,
size 4 / ~2.15 mm) and syringes (1 ml). Always use the minimal cylinder diameter necessary for your
specimen size to avoid excessive amounts of embedding medium.

Assembly of the Sample Holder for Capillary
1.
Select the corresponding colored sleeves (Fig. 26/

) to match the color of the capillary of choice

The capillary should hold the sample and the appropriate plunger (Fig. 26/
5
), see as well the
CHAPTER 2 SAMPLE PREPARATION in this manual. The plungers that fit into capillary size 2 - 4
have to be used with corresponding Teflon tips that are already assembled onto the plungers. Note
that in addition 10x Teflon tips of each as well as matching Teflon tip tools are provided in the
Chamber & Sample Holder Starter Kit Lightsheet Z.1 (
Tab. 1

replacement onto the matching tip-less plungers.
