EM-Tec gripping stub and stub based vice holders

EM-Tec gripping stub and stub based vice holders are useful to grip and hold SEM specimens without much need for specimen preparation. Ideal for cross-section and edge-on imaging. The comprehensive selection of this type of cost-effective gripping and vice type holders is compatible with  SEMs using pin stubs (FEI, Zeiss, Tescan, Phenom SEMs using M4 thread (Hitachi and EM-Tec SEM stage adapters) and JEOL SEMs.

EM-Tec pin stub compatible gripping stub and stub based vice holders:

• EM-Tec GS24 gripping stub holder with clamping plate to hold specimens or tissue up to 4mm thick.  Specimen is held by the clamping plate which is pushed with set screws. Also useful for holding tissue for dehydration and CDP processing.  Holder size is 24x13x12mm; fits in any SEM using standard 3.2mm pin stubs. Ref: McTurk, G., Bulman, S., Ocklefors, C.C. Journal of microscopy 127,233. 1982.
