ABSTRACT:
A chamber suitable for use with a scanning electron microscope. The chamber comprises at least one aperture sealed with a membrane. The membrane is adapted to withstand a vacuum, and is transparent to electrons and the interior of the chamber is isolated from said vacuum. The chamber is useful for allowing wet samples including living cells to be viewed under an electron microscope.
