Cryostat Sample Support Assemblies and Methods for Supporting a Sample During Cryo Analysis

摘要

Cryostat sample support assemblies are provided that can include: a planar sample support defining opposing surfaces bounded by an edge; insulative members extending to the edge; and a thermal link extending to one of the opposing surfaces. Methods for supporting a sample during cryo analysis are also provided. The methods can include: supporting a sample on a planar platform; and supporting the planar platform with both insulative members lateral of the platform and a thermal link below the platform.
