90 degrees holder for pin stubs w/o off-set strip.90 degrees holder for pin stubs or pin stub holders with off-set strip.It can be used in a large variety of configurations included (but not limited too):

For use on JEOL SEMs, a JEOL pin stub adapter needs to be used. The EM-Tec PH90 versatile 360°/90°-offset sample holder kit is truly versatile and fully compatible with all standard SEMs such as FEI and Tescan, Zeiss SEMs with short pin, Hitachi SEMs and with the EM-Tec SEM stage adapters system. The vertical distance to the center of the stub connection is 16mm which makes this holder kit compatible with pin stubs and Hitachi M4 stubs up to 32mm diameter.ĮM-Tec PH90 versatile 360°/90°-offset sample holder kit items and configurations To fully reduce background signal, you could place a silicon wafer or carbon disc on the off-set strip directly underneath the sample. Due to the long distance from sample to sample stage, there are hardly disturbing background features. Samples can be mounted on the needle and easily imaged form different angle by manually rotating the needle in the holder. Also very useful for table-top SEMs which have been configured with simple sample stages lacking tilt and rotation.Īn additional feature of the 90° holder is the ability to accept a needle with a shaft diameter up to 3.2mm. This allows for easy rotation of the sample (in the X-Y plane). As a result, a sample or sample stub mounted at 90°, is positioned closer to the center of the stage.

The off-set strip brings the 90° holder away from the centre of the sample stage. The 90° mounted stub or sample can be easily rotated in the 90° block to enable quick changes of viewing angles. With the 90° pre-tilt there is no need to tilt the SEM stage (which often runs into limitations on high tilt angles) the 90° sample holder kit avoids those limitations. The EM-Tec PH90 versatile off-set and 360°/90°-offset sample holder kit allows for imaging samples and samples mounted on sample stubs directly under 90° tilt w/o disturbing background. The 90° sample holder kit has a low profile and small volume to reduce interference with detectors. 90 Degrees sample holder and 90 degrees quick-flip kits
