Hitachi TM Series Basic Sample Preparation Supplies
Overview
In addition to the SEM mounts and holders for the Hitachi TM series table top SEMs, basic SEM sample preparation supplies are indispensable for optimum sample preparation and correct imaging and analysis. They are conveniently grouped together on this page. Although the Hitachi TM series table top SEMs include operation modes to avoid charging it is good practice to work with conductive samples and to make sure that the samples 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. In addition we offer a complete user and starter kit.
Basic sample preparation supplies
The following recommended basic SEM sample preparation supplies for the Hitachi TM can be conveniently ordered from this page. Additional information can be found on the relevant product pages.
EM-Tec conductive silver paste or carbon paint to glue sample to sample stubs.
EM-Tec conductive copper SEM tape to make grounding paths.
EM-Tec Silicon finder grid for either multiple small samples or correlative microscopy.
Conductive tabs to adhere samples such as powder on sample stubs.
EM-Tec stub gripper tweezers for the Ø15, Ø25 and Ø32mm Hitachi M4 sample stubs.
EM-Tec preparation stands for the Hitachi M4 stubs.
Value-Tec sample preparation tweezers.
Value-Tec dust blower.

Calibration tools for the Hitachi TM series table top SEMs
Recommended calibration tools for imaging and EDX analysis with the Hitachi TM series table top SEMs are:
- EM-Tec MCS-1TR magnification calibration standard on Hitachi stub #RS-MN-31-T31000-8
- Micro-Tec MTC-5 multiple target graticule calibration standard #RS-MN-31-T33600-9
- EM-Tec CSX-5C light element and EDX calibration standard #RS-MN-36-000505 (In addition you need #RS-MN-11-000304)
Hitachi TM Series User Starter Kit
The Rave Scientific Hitachi TM Series user kit provides a flexible and easy way to purchase a comprehensive kit of the required basic sample preparation consumables and calibration standards. Standards are required for checking magnification, EDS and resolution in the electron microscope. All sample holders and standards are fully compatible with the Hitachi TM3030plus, TM3030, TM3000 & TM1000. This kit also includes a set of 5 sample preparation tweezers, the Hitachi TM30 stage adapter kit assembly, allowing any M4 designed sample holder to be compatible, 5 versatile sample holders, including the variable 0-90° angle tilt holder, valuable when there is no tilt option on your Hitachi system. The kit is also configured to be compatible with both pin stubs and HItachi M4 stubs. The kit is available in two versions, with and without calibration samples.
