title: A container for handling small specimens during preparation and examination in the scanning electron microscope (SEM).
abstract: The difficulties of handling small specimens of less than 1 mm3 are considerably reduced when the specimens are placed in a small container designed to be compatible with the dimensions of the preparatory instrumentation and of the microscope. The container described is unaffected by solvents used in the preparation of specimens for scanning electron microscopy.
