TEM Imaging Grid Holders For the SEM
TEM samples are very thin and therefore don't exhibit signal originating from bulk. This enables improved surface imaging and increased spatial resolution. These are clear advantages for SEM/EDX studies of thin films, fine dispersions, inclusions, precipitations and low-Z materials. An SEM or rather FESEM can also be used to check TEM samples or lamellas made with a FIB before inserting in a TEM. There are two methods of imaging TEM samples and they require different type of TEM grid holders:
- Surface imaging and investigation require TEM grid holders.
- STEM imaging which requires a special TEM grid holder with integrated conversion plate.
- EM-Tec TEM grid holders for surface imaging and EDX analysis with an SEM.
The TEM grids holders enables investigating TEM samples in the SEM. They are intended for use in table top SEMs, laboratory grade SEMs, FESEMs, Auger, SIMS and light microscopes. The EM-Tec grid holder can also be used to quickly check the sample (after FIB procedures) before investigating it with a TEM. The EM-Tec grid holders are intended for use in an SEM, Auger, SIMS and light microscopes. They are all precision machined from vacuum grade aluminum. There are three EM-Tec TEM grid holders.
