Abstract
A practical, step-by-step description of the construction of loops for protein cryocrystallography using pulled-out microinjection capillari es is described. The advantages of this method are the high reproducib ility of the loops, the ease of adjustment of the loop diameter and th e formation of thin films owing to the narrow base of the loop. During assembly, the loop does not make contact with either glue or cement.
