Hi Patrick, I have met the same issue and that is very bad for any micro-focus beam and small crystals. I have talked with Mitegen and they are developing a new type of reusable base having an improvement for this issue. You may get some update from them. But, I do not use the reusable bases

Dear Patrick, you can use ordinary glue ("Uhu Sekundenkleber") or nail varnish to glue the pin into the base. To remove the pin, just keep it in a beaker with acetone. Both glue and varnish resolve within short time (an hourish?) This has been practice in the labs where I worked for the past 20

Hi everyone, I’ve become very fond of the Mitegen reusable bases for mounting crystals, since the reusable aspect savse me from having to discard the base every time I break a microloop. However, once the crystals arrive at the synchroteon, I observe motions of the loops (some gradual, some
