Provides specimen protection during transfer to transmission electron microscopes. The Model 2560 Vacuum Transfer Tomography Holder is a single-axis holder capable of tilting ±70° and is designed for room-temperature applications. The holder provides up to 1 mm field of view. For specimen protection during transfer to the TEM, an advanced mechanism retracts the specimen into the body of the holder, which in turn seals and isolates the specimen from the surrounding atmosphere. The holder is ideal for sensitive specimens that can be altered by environmental conditions; the specimen can be transferred in the presence of vacuum or an inert gas environment. Loading TEM specimens in vacuum or an inert atmosphere requires the use of a glove box; the holder is designed specifically for use with a glove box to ensure specimen protection and successful transfer to the TEM. To load a specimen, place the holder on the loading stand and open the specimen spring clamp with the clamp tool. Once the glove box is pumped, use the forceps to place the specimen in the holder. Retract the specimen within the holder; the spring clamp secures the specimen automatically without the need of the clamp tool. The specimen is now in a vacuum/an inert environment and ready for transfer to the TEM. The holder tip accepts a 3 mm diameter TEM specimen or grid, which is secured with a spring clamp. When engaged, the clamp provides a secure force on the edge of the specimen and maximizes specimen visibility, even at high-tilt angles. Included with the holder are a holder loading stand, a Model 9010 Vacuum Storage Container, a loading stand, forceps, and a specimen clamp tool. - Advanced mechanism retracts the specimen into the body of the holder, which seals and isolates the specimen from the surrounding atmosphere - Ideal for sensitive specimens that can be altered by environmental conditions - Can be used to gather tomographic data in TEMs with a pole-piece gap > 5 mm - Is compatible with the microscope’s touch alarm, which stops goniometer movement in the event that a pole touch occurs Available for both JEOL and Thermo Fisher Scientific microscopes.
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
