Protective gas microscopy preparation tool

Sometimes we get specimen vials that have been sealed under argon (in a glovebox). Prepping the crystals is easy enough, using a MicroCHILL (published here: https://journals.iucr.org/j/issues/2018/02/00/gj5200/gj5200.pdf). However, getting the samples from the vial to the stage without air contact is usually a pain. This tool is an attempt at resolving this.
