EM-Tec SEM XL100 multi holder for 4 large stubsEM-Tec SEM XL100 multi holder for 4 large holders
Description

The EM-Tec XL100 multi holder can hold up to 4 large SEM sample stubs or SEM sample holders up to 53mm diameter. The innovative X-shape design saves weight, enables easy loading but still covers an area of 100x100mm.
At the centre of the EM-Tec XL holders an X-shape cross is engraved to assist determining the SEM stage X-Y travel directions. Each “leg” of the holder is identified with a number.

Capacity

Compatible large SEM sample stubs are:

  • Standard pin stubs with 25.4, 32, 38 and 50mm diameter
  • Zeiss short pin sample stubs with 25.4, 32, 38 and 50mm diameter
  • Hitachi M4 threaded sample stubs with 25, 32 and 50mm diameter

Compatible EM-Tec SEM sample holders are:

  • EM-Tec R32 and B26 bulk sample holders
  • EM-Tec M26, M32 and M40 metallographic mount holders
  • EM-Tec P4, P6 and P8 multi pin stub holders
  • EM-Tec F25, F35 and F47 filter holders

Operation

  • Check if the SEM stage allows the required sample area travel.
  • Check if there is enough space in the SEM chamber to freely move around the loaded XL100 multi holder without touching anything in the SEM chamber
  • Move the SEM stage to the center position
  • Attach the EM-Tec XL multi holder on the SEM sample stage; use an appropriate SEM stage adapter if needed.
  • Load the stubs/holders on the XL100 multi holder
    • Pin stubs/holders – place the pins in the selected hole and secure with M3 screw with the provided allen key driver
    • M4 threaded stubs/holders – screw the stubs/holders on the M4 screw. The holders can be rotated by loosening the M3 screw; adjust rotation of the stub/holder as needed and secure position with the provided allen key driver
  • Note the position (1-4) of the stubs/holders on the EM-Tec XL100 multi holder
  • Close the SEM chamber and pump down; due to the large total sample size, pump-down time might be longer
  • Determine travel directions according to the engraved cross and the engraved numbering
  • Analyse first sample and move to the next until all sample are finished
  • Vent the SEM, remove stubs/holders and repeat procedure if needed.
