Instructions on how to use the EM-Tec sample holders and stub adapters on different SEM brands

                FEI/Philips, Tescan, Leica, CamScan, Aspex, Cambridge Instruments SEMs: Use the #11-000119 and #11-000109 standard pin stub adapters to convert any of the EM-Tec holder in this kit to a pin stub based sample holder. The M4 threaded top of these adapters can be screwed into the M4 threaded hole of the sample holders. Use the #12-000333 with pin adapter for JEOL cylinder stubs.

                JEOL SEMs: Use the #11-000514 stub adapter with M4 screw to equip the EM-Tec  sample holders in this kit with a Ø12.2mm cylinder base. Virtually all JEOL SEMs include a holder for Ø12.2mm sample stubs which can be used to hold the converted SEM holders. Hitachi stubs and sample holders can also be converted to Ø12.2mm by using the #11-000514. The #11-00513 pin stub adapter can be used for holding pin stubs in a Ø12.2mm stub holder. Note: the adapter arrangement for the JEOL SEMs increases the height of the SEM sample holder; please make sure the adapter arrangement is compatible with the available maximum sample height in your JEOL SEM.

                Hitachi SEMs: The Hitachi SEMs include an M4 threaded screw on the sample stage; you can use all the included EM-Tec sample holders directly on your SEM. Use the #12-00314 multi pin stub holder for pin stubs. Use the #12-000333 bulk holder for JEOL cylinder stubs.

                Zeiss/LEO SEMs: Use the #11-000116 and #11-000106 short Zeiss pin stub adapters to convert any of the EM-Tec holder in this kit to a Zeiss pin stub based sample holder. The M4 head of these adapters can be screwed into the M4 threaded hole of the sample holders. Use the #12-000333 with short Zeiss pin adapter for JEOL cylinder stubs.

                Amray, Keysight/Agilent SEMs: Use the #11-000120 long pin stub adapter to convert any of the EM-Tec holder in this kit to a Zeiss pin stub based sample holder. The M4 head of these adapters can be screwed into the M4 threaded hole of the sample holders. Use the #12-000333 with pin adapter for JEOL cylinder stubs. There might be size limitations on the Keysigth/Agilent sample stage.

Maintenance
The EM-Tec U2 universal SEM sample holder and SEM stub adapter kit is maintenance free. Do not use oil or grease on the holders; this will cause contamination in the SEM.  Avoid contamination with adhesives or glues on the holders. The SEM sample holders can be cleaned with a 50/50 solution of isopropanol and acetone.
