EM-Tec SEM stub based compact specimen holders
EM-Tec stub based SEM specimen holders are all small SEM specimen holders based on (modified) SEM specimen stubs. They have the same footprint as the original SEM specimen stubs and are directly compatible with the SEM stage or SEM specimen stub holder. These affordable specimen holders increase efficiency and reduce specimen preparation time. Using specimen holders reduces the use of conductive adhesives which can be a source of contamination. The EM-Tec stub based small specimen holders formats are:
- Standard pin stub based compact specimen holders
- JEOL cylinder stub based specimen holders
- Hitachi M4 stub based specimen holders
The pin stub based specimen holders comprise the largest selection; they can be easily used on other SEM platforms by using the cost efficient EM-Tec SEM stub adapters. All EM-Tec compact SEM stub based SEM specimen holders are precision machined from vacuum grade aluminium unless otherwise noted. Provided with set screws and allen keys.

EM-Tec pin stub based compact specimen holders
There is a wide choice of the compact EM-Tec SEM pin stub based specimen holders. Since they are small and using the standard pin stub format, they will fit in virtually any SEM compatible with standard pin stubs. They are based on standard SEM pin stubs or made from modified pin stubs with a pin size of Ø3.15mm and a pin length of 9.5mm. Ideal for table top SEMs, such as the Phenom, but just as useful on laboratory grade SEMs and FESEMs. Using a specimen holders is quicker, cleaner and provides more stability than conductive tapes or glues.
