Abstract
A sample carrier interface for mounting a sample carrier on a microscope stage includes a frame configured to receive the sample carrier and to be positioned atop an opening of the microscope stage, and a locking device configured to exert a lateral force to the sample carrier when the locking device is in a locked state to keep the sample carrier suspended above the opening when the sample carrier is received in the frame and the frame is positioned atop the opening of the microscope stage. The locking device is further configured to hold the sample carrier in place when the locking device is in the locked state and the sample carrier interface is moved to and from the microscope stage. The locking device includes an adjusting element for switching between the locked state and an unlocked state in which the locking device does not exert the lateral force.
