Parts and assembly of the device. (a) Schematic overview of all parts of the frame as well as an acrylic glass tile and the pen and lever tools. (b) Photograph of the fully assembled frame. It was placed on a 3-lens 96-well MRC low-profile crystallization plate and secured by four clamps. (c) The device, seen from another side, as a schematic cross section showing the recesses available on the side. The larger recess can be used via the thumb to hold the plate while lifting the frame; the smaller recesses fit the lever tool to loosen the frame before completely lifting it up. In the close-up view (circle) the groove with the acrylic glass tiles inserted is visible. |
