Overview

Rave Scientific offers the pre-tilt sample holders from EM-Tec which all include a 70° pre-tilt angle to facilitate EBSD analysis. With a 70° pre-tilt angle there is no need to tilt the SEM sample stage. Using 70° pre-tilted holders instead of tilting the SEM stage offer definite advantages.

The EBSD holders are flexible and come in the following designs:

• Metallographic mount holders
• Geological slide holder
• Small vise type holders and S-Clip Holders.

The EBSD 70° pre-tilt holders can be combined with a height extender if needed. The EM-Tec P70 and H70 pre-tilt EBSD holders include both 70° pre-tilt and -20° pre-tilt to enable EBSD measurements at a 90° angle at the same sample.

The EBSD 70° pre-tilt holders are available with a pin or M4 threaded hole. Using a stub adapter for JEOL SEMs is only advised if there is enough height clearance or if the JEOL SEM has been converted to using pin stubs. The available EM-Tec EBSD sample holders and sample holder kits with 70° pre-tilt angle are:  

• EM-Tec P70 / H70 EBSD holder for pin stubs and pin stub type sample holders, pin / M4
• EM-Tec P70M / H70M EBSD holder for Hitachi M4 stubs and M4 threaded holders, with pin / M4
• EM-Tec P71 / H71 EBSD sample holder kit for 25mm (1”) metallographic mounts, with pin / M4
• EM-Tec P72 / H72 EBSD sample holder kit for 30mm (1-1/4”) metallographic mounts, with pin / M4
• EM-Tec P73 / H73 EBSD sample holder kit for up to 48x28mm geological slides, with pin /M4
• EM-Tec P74 / H74 EBSD sample holder kit for FIB lamellas, with pin / M4
• EM-Tec P75 / H75 EBSD S-clip sample holder kit for Si chips & thin samples, with pin / M4
• EM-Tec P76 / H76 EBSD mini vise clamp holder for cross-section samples up to 4mm, with pin / M4
• EM-Tec P77 / H77 EBSD mini split mount vise holder for cross-section samples up to 8mm, with pin/ M4
• EM-Tec P78 / H78 EBSD vise clamp holder for samples up to 16mm, with pin / M4
