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.
