SEM Specimen and FIB and STEM Sample Holders
Specially Designed Specimen Holders For
SEM:
Our specimen holders are designed to improve your productivity and allow you to view more than one sample at a time. You will save pump down time, keep your chamber cleaner and get more work done. All mounts are machined from solid aluminum and come with spring clips/or setscrews to hold your specimens securely. All mounts are made to fit onto your stage and are designed to fit through all standard specimen exchange ports, and have a center-threaded port to accept the Adapter Pins. Be sure to order the Adapter Pin that fits your instrument. For this reason, we offer three different types of pin adapters, which are threaded and ready to screw on to the base of the holders.
Adapter A: Overall measurement: 28mm long x 3.1mm diameter (step-up portion is 6.25mm L x 4.8mm diameter),
Adapter B: Overall measurement: 28mm long x 6mm diameter,
Adapter C: Overall measurement: 34.5mm long x 16mm diameter
All adapters have a threaded portion 5mm in length.
1)
Universal SEM Sample Holder
This holder will hold almost any sample from 3mm to 29mm in diameter plus various odd shaped samples, which one of their dimensions is not greater than 29mm. The samples are easily inserted or removed from the holder. The holder is made from aluminum and is supplied with four removable sample arms so that it can hold very small samples as well, and it provides good electrical contact to the stage.
The AMRAY base is the standard base and it measures: 48mm x 42mm x 12mm Thick.
For all other makes and models you can choose an Adapter Pin to screw
on
to the AMRAY base holder.

FIB
Sample Holder
Fortress™ FIB Holder with CastleGuard™ Protection
Fortress™ FIB Holders are reusable holders that secure FIB sample that are held in a specific orientation without the use of adhesives, adhesive tabs, or conductive paints. Fortress™ FIB Holders can be used to position a thin, whole or cut TEM grid / disk in an orientation such that either in-situ or an ex-situ. FIB lift-out technique can be used to attach a FIB-prepared sample. Physical protection of the mounted sample on the grid is provided with the CastleGuard™ protection design. Up to 30 Fortress FIB Holders can be stored in a single SS200 Sample Saver™ storage container. Features:
- Unique clamping mechanism secures sample without over tightening.
- Standard 1/8" pin mount fits most FIBs and SEMs.
- Peripheral support structure protects specimens during handling and transport.
- Economical design offers user to prepare and store samples on the same holder.
- Compatible with Sample Sver™ Stoage containers for secure stoage and transport in an inert environment.
