Mounting arrangement for scanning samples in liquid. A pipette tip is heat-sealed at its tip and filled with alcohol, and the sample is wedged gently into the tapering container. Adhesive putty such as UHU Patafix is used to prevent alcohol evaporation and also to hold the container tip in place in another cut-off tip mounted on a 2 mm-diameter wooden applicator stick, which is then mounted into the chuck supplied with the MicroXCT scanner.
