A new inexpensive specimen carrier for freeze-fracturing.
This paper describes the production and use of a new specimen carrier for the Balzers freeze-fracturing unit. The carriers are inexpensive, easily produced and have excellent mechanical and thermal properties. The rectangular form of the carriers provides easy handling and unequivocal orientation of anisotropic specimens.
