Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sample support structure with integrated support features and methods of making and using the reinforced membrane. The sample support structures are useful for supporting samples for analysis using microscopic techniques, such as electron microscopy, optical microscopy, x-ray microscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A reinforced sample support structure comprising (a) an array comprising more than one viewing region, wherein the viewing regions are supported by and divided by reinforcement regions, and the reinforcement regions and the viewing regions consist of the same material, the reinforcement regions are thicker than the viewing regions, and the viewing regions are electron transparent, and (b) a framing region surrounding the array, wherein the framing region runs substanti…
