A large variety of SEM supplies, accessories, chemicals, and consumables are available from EMS, which are essential components for the efficiency and accuracy of your scanning electron microscope. Our in-house manufacturing produces a wide range of SEM supplies that cater to various research needs, including diverse specimen requirements, machine and sample specifications, and more.


A variety of SEM mount types offered by EMS include AMRAY, JEOL, Hitachi, ZEISS, TESCAN, FEI, Phillips, Leica, and more.


Conductive Adhesives

Conductive adhesives are specifically designed to attach a sample to its mount while reducing the charging effects of an electron beam on a non-conductive specimen. They are widely used in scanning electron microscopy and come in various designs and materials to cater to multiple applications. Conductive adhesive supplies include conductive adhesive glue, carbon tabs, electrically conductive adhesives, and silver conductive paste.


Apertures

SEM apertures give users the control to create optimal conditions for SEM imaging. Apertures are offered in various materials like molybdenum, platinum, and tantalum. Discover microscope aperture supplies like Molybdenum Discs, Drilled Apertures, Platinum Discs, Wehnelt Apertures, Strip Apertures, Metal Boats and more.


SEM Specimen Holders

SEM specimen holders are mechanisms that hold the specimen mount in position during imaging and can facilitate specific functions such as rotating, tilting, or adjusting the position of a specimen. There is a wide range of specimen holders available for different applications such as FIB, thin sections, bulk specimens, metallurgy, EBSD, geology, and wafers. For example, there are multi-pin stub adapters that can hold multiple mounts at once. Additionally, FIB holders are reusable and can secure FIB samples in a specific orientation without the use of adhesives, adhesive tabs, or conductive paints.


Cathodes & Filaments

At EMS, we have cathodes for a wide variety of SEM models, including Amray, Cambridge, Hitachi, JEOL, ZEISS, Leica, and more. These cathodes and filaments are available in different types, each with unique characteristics. Optimize your imaging results with our selection of filaments and cathodes for electron microscopy.


SEM Finder Grids

SEM finder grids are essential tools for researchers who need to locate and revisit specific regions of a sample during scanning electron microscopy analysis. They provide a reference system for sample identification, localization, and navigation under the microscope. SEM finder grids are available in different materials, such as copper, gold, and nickel.


Scintillators

Scintillators are essential for SEM's detection system that converts an electron beam's energy into visible light signals. Scintillators available from EMS are high quality and include YAP scintillators, YAG scintillators, and P47 scintillators


Reference Standards for SEM

Reference Standards for SEM help ensure the accuracy and reliability of SEM imaging and analysis. EMS offers a diverse range of SEM reference standards, including metals, NBS, BAS, compounds, electron backscatter particle analysis, geological/silicate material blocks, SEM calibration, and EDS standards.


SEM for Forensics

SEM supplies are valuable tools utilized in various ways in the field of forensics. SEM forensic supplies and forensic lab equipment include forensic collection kits, forensic gunshot residue lab kits, forensic field samplers, certified mounts, and more.
