JEOL NeoScope Basic Sample Preparation Supplies

JEOL NeoScope Stage Holders and Stubs

Overview

In addition to the SEM mounts and holders for the JEOL NeoScope series table top SEMs, basic SEM sample preparation supplies are necessary for optimum sample preparation and correct imaging and analysis. They are conveniently brought together on this page. Although the JEOL NeoScope table top SEMs include operation modes to avoid charging it is easier to work with conductive samples and samples which are grounded by using conductive adhesives. It is recommended to coat the surface of non-conductive sample with a thin layer of gold, using a sputter coater. When using images to generate data for measurements, it is recommended to calibrate to the system the system first with an EM-Tec magnification calibration standard.
