Description
The EM-Tec G0, G1, G2 and G4 geological thin section holders are designed to hold geological thin sections or petrographic slides. The EM-Tec G0 holders have two open sides and can hold slides up 75 x 50mm. The EM-Tec G1, G2 and G4 holders all include pockets which are designed to hold slides up to 47 x 27mm. The slides are held with two S-Clips to push the slide down on the holder plate; thin slide are secured in the pockets. Loading and unloading is made easy with side grooves to facilitate tweezers tips.
Operation
Consider wearing gloves and using tweezers to avoid contamination. Before loading a petrographic slide, turn the S-Clips away from the sample area and let them rest on the side. Load the petrographic slide and check that it fits into the pocket. Position the S-clips back over the slide to push down the slide. To make rotating the S-Clips easier, it might be needed to unscrew the brass screw halve a turn. The S-Clips can be lifted at the tips with tweezers. Only position the S-Clips over an unused area of the slide. To ensure conductivity, position the clips on a coated area.
