SUMMARY Two specimen holders for use in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of insect and other specimens glued to triangular cardboard points are described. They have important advantages over standard metal stub mounts. Diverse, precisely orientated, viewing angles are possible using single specimens, which can afterwards be re‐pinned for return to the collection.
