FIG. 4.

Labeled, rendered image of adjustable chamber bottom with low-force, load control grips. The grips work using a spring-loaded retaining bar that presses the sample into the grip face with a known force. The drawback to this particular grip system is that high forces extend the springs, making encoder-driven strain control inaccurate and potentially leading to slip out. However, for low force applications, they work well.
