A holding device for electron-microscope specimens comprises a guide bar which is connected to an apparatus for controlling its temperature by heating or cooling it as necessary. The guide bar is mounted on a supporting block and it may be pressed into pressure interengagement therewith to provide a thermal contact therebetween or released. The supporting block has a clamping device for clamping a specimen thereto, which for example, comprises a spring member having forked shaped arms which engage around a specimen and hold it tightly to the supporting block.
