TEM Specimen Holders

613 Single Tilt Liquid Nitrogen Cooling Holder  

The 613 Single Tilt Liquid Nitrogen Cooling Holder is used in applications to observe low temperature in-situ phase transitions and to reduce contamination due to carbon migration.  It can also be used to reduce unwanted thermal effects in various analytical techniques and to facilitate EDS and EELS analyses by reducing contamination and mass loss.  


Key Features 

Low drift design

  • High mechanical stability by conduction cooling from well-insulated, bubble-free dewar

Analytical Design

  • Specimen cradle, Hexring® and Anti-twist washer are made of beryllium for analytical applications

Precise Temperature Control

  • Temperature of the holder is monitored by a calibrated silicon diode which provides a sensitive, linear temperature response
  • The conductor rod connecting the specimen holder tip to the nitrogen dewar contains an electric heater to control the specimen temperature  

Tilt ranges and compatibility of specimen holders vary according to the TEM manufacturer, model, pole piece gap, and the presence of in-gap accessories.  Please contact your local Gatan representative for more information.
