Figure 1 The S-O clip. This device consists of a metallic clip and a 5-mm long spring with a rubber loop, which is anchored to one side of the clip. Attaching the clip to the edge of the specimen, followed by attaching another clip in a contralateral direction, provides traction at any location without switching to a multi-bending scope (GIF-2TQ260M, Olympus Optical, Japan). The image editing software used was the Adobe Photoshop software (Adobe Inc., version 25.0).
