A simple additional device is shown to introduce specimen without contact to air into the Siemens electron microscope EM-101. The construction, the function and handlinf of the modified specimen airlock is described. The device is used to study oxidable crystals by electron microscopy and diffraction, and might also be promising for ultracytochemical and molecular biological problems.
