A simple to use, easily customized vacuum pumping station for TEM specimen holders. The Turbo Pumping Station evacuates the Model 2550 Cryo Transfer Tomography Holder’s dewar during zeolite regeneration. It can also pump down Thermo Fisher Scientific and JEOL, Ltd. TEM specimen holders and keep the holders under vacuum during storage. The Model 9030 Turbo Pumping Station is a versatile, configurable device for evacuating the Fischione Instruments’ Model 2550 Cryo Transfer Tomography Holder during zeolite regeneration and for storing transmission electron microscope specimen holders under clean, vacuum conditions. The Cryo Transfer Tomography Holder’s dewar contains zeolite desiccant, which enhances the dewar’s vacuum level. Zeolite must be regenerated regularly; this requires a high vacuum pumping station. The Turbo Pumping Station reaches an ultimate pressure of < 10-6 Torr when pumping down the Cryo Transfer Tomography Holder. The pumping station allows for vacuum pumping of the specimen holder tip while evacuating the dewar vacuum. Up to four TEM specimen holders can be pumped down and stored in vacuum conditions. The Turbo Pumping Station can simultaneously accommodate both Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) and JEOL specimen holders. Available configurations: - Basic (TFS): A single dock with a single TFS port; manual port venting - Single (TFS): A single dock with a single TFS port; automatic port venting; display of vacuum level - Single (JEOL): A single dock with a single JEOL port; automatic port venting; display of vacuum level - Quad (TFS and/or JEOL): A quad holder dock; user specifies TFS and JEOL port mix (four TFS ports, four JEOL ports, or two TFS/ two JEOL ports); automatic port venting; display of vacuum level
Includes all the components required to produce high quality cross-section specimens for transmission electron microscopy. Widely used cross-section specimens include semiconductor devices (which often have multiple layers and, thus, multiple interfaces), specimens with thin film layers, and composite materials. For the study of interfaces by transmission electron microscopy, it is critical to align the interface of interest parallel to the incident electron beam. One method for preparing such samples is to fabricate cross-section specimens. - Stacks and holds cross-section specimens - Aligns areas and interface of interest - Produces consistent glue layer thickness - Resulting stacks are readily cut by the Model 170 Ultrasonic Disk Cutter - Fabricate self-supported 3 mm diameter disk specimens

Specimen Grinder. Mechanically prethins specimens for transmission electron microscopy. Produces uniform thickness specimens with parallel sides. Greatly reduces the time spent during the final preparation process of ion beam milling. For transmission electron microscopy, the quality of the initial disk determines the quality of the final specimen. The disk can be mechanically ground using the Model 160 Specimen Grinder to a precisely controlled thickness. Use the Model 200 Dimpling Grinder for final thinning. - Accurate and dependable - Precisely controlled - Specimens up to 18 mm diameter - No additional force needed - Large diameter provides excellent stability - Platen transferable to the Model 200 Dimpling Grinder

Ultra-Narrow Gap Tomography Holder. A holder capable of tilting up to 90° while providing a maximized field of view for transmission electron microscopy. The Model 2030 Ultra-Narrow Gap Tomography Holder is capable of tilting up to 90° while providing a maximized field of view. The holder is suitable for ultra-narrow gap (< 3 mm) pole-piece geometries. The Ultra-Narrow Gap Tomography Holder accepts a 1.5 mm square or round TEM specimen or grid into a cartridge, securing it with a single clamp. Items included are a specimen loading stand, a Model 9010 Vacuum Storage Container, a loading fixture, a clamp tightening tool, copper grids, tweezers, and a spare parts kit. The holder: - Specimen loading station allows easy positioning and clamping of the specimen into the cartridge - Has a streamlined specimen clamping mechanism eliminates the shadowing associated with most holders at high-tilt angles - Has a retractable clamp that evenly distributes force on the specimen - Accommodates specimen thicknesses up to 100 μm - Is compatible with the TEM’s touch alarm, which stops goniometer movement in the event that a pole touch occurs The holder is available for both JEOL and Thermo Fisher Scientific microscopes.

Produces high quality disk specimens from thin metal foils. A precision ground punch and die plate eliminate specimen stress and distortion. An ideal accessory to the Model 110 Automatic Twin-Jet Electropolisher. The specimen punch is available with a standard base or with a wide base, which provides extra stability when producing thin foils. A precision ground punch and die plate eliminate specimen stress and distortion of the disk specimen. A spring-loaded return plunger keeps the disk specimen on the die plate surface for convenient handling. Available in standard sizes of 1 mm, 2.3 mm, and 3.0 mm; other sizes available upon request
