EM-Tec spring-loaded SEM sample holders

EM-Tec spring-loaded vice type SEM sample holders are quick and easy to use. They hold the sample by clamping it between  moving jaws, which enables quick sample loading and reduces down time. They are especially useful when similar SEM samples or series of the same sample need to be examined. Using a spring-loaded SEM sample holder is easier, quicker and cleaner than using conductive adhesives or glue. A vice clamps the sample and provides the rigidity needed for high resolution imaging.

Available spring-loaded EM-Tec SEM sample holders are:

  • EM-Tec VS8 mini spring-loaded vice for SEM samples up to 8mm
  • EM-Tec VS12 compact single-action spring-loaded vice for SEM samples up to 12mm
  • EM-Tec VS12-T compact spring-loaded vice for up to 12mm with 0-90 degrees tilt capabilities
  • EM-Tec VS26 medium double-action, spring-loaded vice for SEM samples up to 26mm
  • EM-Tec VS42 large universal double action,spring-loaded vice for SEM samples up to 42mm

EM-Tec vice sample holders are available with pin and with a M4 threaded hole. For use on JEOL SEMs, we suggest the use of an EM-Tec SEM stub adaptor or an EM-Tec SEM stage adaptor.
