Overview
Rave Scientific offers EM-Tec Versa-Plate adaptable SEM sample holders. The EM-Tec Versa-Plate adaptable SEM sample holders consists of a flat base plate with multiple M4 threaded holes and a set of movable sample holding brackets. The brackets can be positioned at any of the M4 threaded holes to perfectly suit the size and shape of the sample. Each bracket can be rotated a fully 360° and is fastened on the base plate with an M4 screw. The brackets include an M3 stainless thumb screws to secure the sample. The multiple bracket position capability makes this one of the most versatile SEM sample holders. The base plates of the EM-Tec Versa-Plate sample holders are made from stress-free, vacuum grade, aluminum tooling plate to maintain flatness. All screws on the brackets are made from non-magnetic stainless steel. Each holder is supplied complete with base plate, brackets, M4 screws and M3 thumb screws. Additional brackets and thumb screws are optionally available. The EM-Tec Versa-Plate sample holders are ideally suited for:
- Large and/or awkwardly shaped samples
- Industrial products
- Forensic artifacts
- Failure analysis
- Non-symmetrical samples
- Multiple samples
- The available standard EM-Tec Versa-Plate adaptable SEM sample holders are:
- H45 sample holder plate size of 106x58mm, 9x5 M4 threaded holes with a pitch of 12mm
- H49 sample holder plate size of 82x82mm, 7x7 M4 threaded holes with a pitch of 12mm
- H81 sample holder plate size of 106x106mm, 9x9 M4 threaded holes with a pitch of 12mm
- H121 sample holder plate size of 150x150mm, 11x11 M4 threaded holes with a pitch of 14mm
Additional SEM stage adaptability
The design of the EM-Tec Versa-Plate holders allow for mounting the EM-Tec SEM stage adapters (all with an M4 screw), at any of the M4 threaded holes at the back of the base plate. Standard position of the SEM stage adapter is the centre of the base plate. However, by mounting at other positions, the EM-Tec Versa-Plate SEM sample holder can be used at off-set positions on the SEM sample stage. This enables examining larger samples than the available X-Y travel range of the SEM stage.
