The EM-Tec PH90 versatile off-set and 90° sample holder kit allows for imaging samples and samples mounted on sample stubs directly under 90°  tilt w/o disturbing background.  The 90°  sample holder kit has a low profile and small volume to reduce interference with detectors. With the 90°  pre-tilt there is no need to tilt the SEM stage (which often runs into limitations on high tilt angles); the 90°  sample holder kit avoids those limitations. The 90° mounted stub or sample can be easily rotated in the 90° block  to enable quick changes of viewing angles.

Off-set strip

The off-set strip brings the 90°  holder away from the centre of the sample stage. As a result, a sample or sample stub mounted at 90°  is positioned closer to the center of the stage which allows for easy rotation of the sample (in the X-Y plane). Also very useful for table-top SEMs which have been configured with simple sample stages lacking tilt and rotation.

90 Degrees sample imaging

An additional feature of the 90° holder is the ability to accept a needle with a shaft diameter up to 3.2mm. Samples can be mounted on the needle and easily imaged form different angle by manually rotating the needle in the holder. Due to the long distance from sample to sample stage, there are hardly disturbing background features. To fully reduce background signal, you could place a silicon wafer or carbon disc on the off-set strip directly underneath the sample. The vertical distance to the center of the stub connection is 16mm which makes this holder kit compatible with pin stubs and Hitachi M4 stubs up to 32mm diameter.
