    Abstract: An improved method for extracting and handling multiple samples for S/TEM analysis is disclosed. Preferred embodiments of the present invention make use of a micromanipulator that attaches multiple samples at one time in a stacked formation and a method of placing each of the samples onto a TEM grid. By using a method that allows for the processing of multiple samples, the throughput of sample prep in increased significantly.

    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a TEM-lamella includes mounting (51) a plate shaped substrate having a thickness in a support, manufacturing (53) a first strip-shaped recess on a first side of the substrate under a first angle to the support by means of a particle beam, and manufacturing (55) a second strip-shaped recess on a second side of the substrate under a second angle to the support by means of a particle beam, such that the first and the second strip-shaped recess mutually form an acute or right angle, and between them form an overlap region of lesser thickness. The lamella has a thicker rim region and a thinner central region, with a first strip-shaped recess on a first side of the lamella and a second strip-shaped recess on a second side of the lamella, wherein the first and the second strip-shaped recess mutually form an acute or right angle, and between them form an overlap region having a thickness of below 100 nm. An apparatus for executing the process or manufacturing the lamella includes a lamella support pivotable about a transverse axis and a longitudinal axis inclined to the vertical direction, a device for rotating about the longitudinal axis, and stop means for limiting a tilt of the lamella support about the transverse axis.

    Abstract: Protein layers 1 repeating regularly in two dimensions comprise protein protomers 2 which each comprise at least two monomers 5, 6 genetically fused together. The monomers 5, 6 are monomers of respective oligomer assemblies 3, 4 into which the monomers are assembled to assembly of the protein layer. The first oligomer assembly 3 belongs to a dihedral point group of order O, where O equals 3, 4 or 6 and has a set of O rotational symmetry axes of order 2. The second oligomer assembly 4 has a rotational symmetry axis of order 2. Due to the symmetry of the oligomer assemblies 3, 4, the rotational symmetry axes of each second oligomer assembly 4 is aligned with one of said set of O rotational symmetry axes of a first oligomer assembly 3 with 2 protomers being arranged symmetrically therearound. Thus, an 2-fold fusion between the oligomer assemblies 3, 4 is produced and the arrangements of the rotational symmetry axes of the oligomer assemblies 3, 4 cause the protein layer to repeat regularly. The protein layer has many uses, for example to support molecular entities for biosensing, x-ray crystallography or electron microscopy.
