Description

🔹 Description

Slot-type TEM grids feature a rectangular or oval opening that provides a large continuous viewing area while maintaining structural support at the edges.

Compared to mesh grids, slot grids minimize obstruction from grid bars and are especially suitable for large-area samples or serial sections.
