PELCO^® Single 1/2" FIB Sample & Grid Holder

The PELCO^® Single FIB Sample and Grid Holder holds a FIB sample mounted on a pin stub for FIB milling and lift-out procedures. It also holds two FIB grids conveniently close to the sample to mount and prepare TEM lamellae on the FIB grid for subsequent TEM imaging.

There are two height options: standard and low profile. The standard height comes with a #16111 pin stub and the pin length of the mount is 9.5mm (3/8") while the low profile comes with a #16176 pin stub and the pin length of the mount is 6.5mm (1/4"). The low profile holder is primarily for systems that require shorter pin mounts and/or sample heights.  This compact and cost effective holder is suitable for all FIB/SEM systems which accept pin mount holders, such as the Thermo Fisher/FEI, ZEISS and TESCAN systems. For the JEOL and Hitachi systems a pin mount adapter is needed.

The standard height (#15467) is made of vacuum grade aluminum with brass screws. Philips screwdriver #0 included. Overall size of 15467 is 22.4 x 12.7 x 11.7mm (0.88 x 0.5 x 0.46"). Pin is 3.2mm (1/8") diameter x 9mm (3/8") length.

The low profile (#15487) is made of vacuum grade aluminum with stainless steel screws. Hex key is included. Overall size of 15487 (excluding pin height) is 22.4 x  12.7 x 7mm (0.88 x 0.5 x 0.28"). Pin is 3.2mm (1/8") diameter x 6.5mm (1/4") length.

PELCO^® Fortress FIB Holder™ & Sample Loader

The PELCO^® Fortress FIB Holder™ is used for TEM sample preparation and storage. The PELCO^® Fortress FIB Holder™ is the former South Bay Technology Fortress FIB Holder. FIB lift-out grids are clamped securely in place by a tensioned spring without the need for adhesives. Sample loading is easy when the PELCO^® Fortress FIB Holder™ is paired with the Sample Loader. Paired with a pin stub desiccator or other pin stub storage container, the PELCO^® Fortress FIB Holder™ securely stores FIB grids with lamella attached. This holder is suitable for all FIB/SEM systems which accept pin mount holders such as Thermo Fisher Scientific/FEI, ZEISS and Tescan systems. For the JEOL and Hitachi systems a pin mount adapter is needed.

Overall size is 20.7 x 14.6 x 13.2mm (0.81 x 0.5 x 0.52"), pin included. Standard ø3.2mm (1/8") pin. Material: vacuum grade aluminum with stainless steel thumbscrew.
