i need mounting materials for small samples.

what is the effect of these mounting materials on samples.

Daniel Martinez Krahmer

For example, if the fixation system is mechanic, the gripper force could alter the shape of the sample.

If the sample is made of magnetic material, this situation dont appear, because you can use magnetic gripper.
