CT-Igel K – CT hedgehogs K
The “CT-hedgehogs K” allow a safe and flexible use of the CT-foam. Due to the low density of the plastic mandrels, the samples to be examined can be positioned on the CT foam near the mandrels. Too high build up leads to foam instability and it can cause shaking. CT-Igel K with magnetic base with conical plastic pins, for safe recording of the sample carrier made of CT foam.
