Abstract
A rotatable transmission electron microscope (TEM) grid holder includes first and second legs orthogonally positioned with respect to each other. Each clamp holder leg is configured to be received within a hole in a main stage supporting the rotatable TEM grid holder. When the first leg of the clamp holder is affixed within the main stage, the sample has a first orientation with respect to the FIB, and when second leg of the clamp holder is affixed within the main stage, the sample has a second orientation with respect to the FIB, rotated 90° relative to the first orientation. The sample may be rotated back and forth between the first and second orientations multiple times as needed to produce a sample which may be clearly imaged by the TEM system, substantially free of curtaining effects.
