Introduction   

The EM-Tec gold series SEM sample holders comprises a selection of compact SEM sample holders, all made from brass and plated with 1µm of pure gold.  Brass is chosen for greater strength and is fully non-magnetic. The gold plating assists in keeping the sample holders clean during handling. The superior chemical resistance of the gold plating facilitates the use of cleaning solutions or plasma cleaning. Clean sample holders surfaces will also greatly reduce contamination transfer to the samples. The EM-Tec gold series SEM sample holders are intended for use with table top SEMs, laboratory grade SEMs and FESEMs. The EM-Tec gold series sample holders and pin stub adapters currently available are:

• EM-Tec GR2 – Tube/needle holder for up to Ø2mm diameter. Needle is clamped with a small stainless steel screw on the side. Ideal holder for Atomprobe sample needles. Made from brass and plated with 1µm of pure gold.
• EM-Tec GS10 – A swivel vise which covers a full 180 angle and can also be rotated with the stub. This is the ultimate holder for imaging cross sections at any desired angle.  The swivel head size without clamping screws is only 16x16x14mm. The sample is clamped with the two clamping screws; the swivel head can be locked in place with the tilt clamping screw. Made from brass and plated with 1µm of pure gold.
• EM-Tec GB16 – Rectangular type bulk sample holder with two side brackets for sample thickness up to 16mm.  Sample are clamped with stainless steel set screws.  Made from brass and plated with 1µm of pure gold. Ideal for smaller samples and smaller SEMs.
• EM-Tec GR20 – Round type bulk sample holder with three brackets for round and awkwardly shaped samples up to Ø20mm. Samples are held with stainless steel screws. Made from brass and plated with 1µm of pure gold. Ideal for smaller samples and smaller SEMs.
• EM-Tec GS25 – Lightweight, spider like holder for awkwardly shaped samples up to Ø25mm. Samples are supported by the three threaded legs and clamped by the flanges on the clamping nuts. Made from brass and plated with 1µm of pure gold.
• EM-Tec GS45 – Lightweight, spider like holder for awkwardly shaped samples up to Ø45mm. Samples are supported by the three threaded legs and clamped by the flanges on the clamping nuts. Made from brass and plated with 1µm of pure gold.
• EM-Tec GZM4 –  Compact Zeiss pin stub adapter with M4 threaded head to convert stubs and samples holders with an M4 threaded hole to a Zeiss pin stub. Pin is 3.2mm diameter and 6mm long. Made from brass and plated with 1µm of pure gold.
• EM-Tec GSPM4 – Compact standard pin stub adapter with M4 threaded head to convert stubs and samples holders with an M4 threaded hole to a standard pin stub. Pin is 3.2mm diameter and 9.5mm long. Made from brass and plated with 1µm of pure gold.

The EM-Tec gold series sample holders are all available with pin stub and some with an M4 threaded hole.
For JEOL SEMs, SEM stub adapters can be used to make the holders compatible for the Ø9.5, Ø12.2 or Ø25mm JEOL stub holders.
