title: Vacuum-sealed specimen stage for scanning microscopy of air-sensitive materials.
abstract: A vacuum-sealed specimen stage for investigation of air-sensitive materials has been designed. This stage is useful for instruments equipped with a vacuum antechamber and allows facile sample mounting in a dry box or glove bag. The sample cell is subsequently introduced into the antechamber of the instrument and the appropriate measurement or photograph is taken. Sample integrity can be maintained in the cell for subsequent investigations.
