EM-Tec FIB pre-tilt stub holders

Introduction

 

Pre-tilt stub holders are useful for FIB/SEM systems to get the sample perpendicular with the FIB column to allow for straight FIB milling in to the surface  of the sample. The pre-tilt angles are complementary to the angles between the FIB column and the electron beam column. When pre-tilt stub holders are used, there is no need to tilt the sample stage. Three types are available:

• EM-Tec P38 fixed 38° tilt holder for FEI pin stubs. Used to pre-tilt samples 38° for TFS / FEI DualBeam FIB/SEM systems. Size w.o. pin is Ø12.7x17mm.
• EM-Tec P36 fixed angle 36° tilt holder for Zeiss pin stubs. Used to pre-tilt samples 36° for Zeiss CrossBeam FIB/SEM systems. Size w.o. pin is Ø12.7x17mm
• EM-Tec P35 fixed angle 35° tilt holder for standard and Tescan pin stubs. Used to pre-tilt samples 35° for Tescan FIBxSEM systems. Size w.o. pin is Ø12.7x17mm.
