Figure 10.2.3.1

Different crystal mounts for flash cooling and cryogenic data collection. (a) Crystal mounted on a thin glass fibre with adhesive, grease, or oil. (b) Crystal placed in a hydrocarbon oil and then scooped onto a thin glass shard. (c) Crystal suspended in a film of aqueous solution within a nylon loop. The loop is attached to a thin (~0.25 mm diameter) wire support. (d) A diagram of the entire loop-mount assembly. The base is made of plain steel or a magnetic alloy and has two holes, one for the wire post and one for a locating pin, which reproducibly positions the assembly on the goniometer.
