TEM Specimen Holders

677FIB Single Tilt Multiple Specimen Holder

The Model 677FIB Single Tilt Multiple Specimen Holder accepts interchangeable cartridges called FIBBEMs.  Each FIBBEM's clamping mechanism securely holds multiple specimens for preparation in the FIB instrument.  Post processing, the FIBBEM is transferred to the 677FIB holder for viewing the specimens in the TEM.

Key Features

Enhanced specimen access

  • Large cutouts in the FIBBEM allow access of the ion beam and reactive gases to interact with the samples

Safe specimen handling

  • FIBBEM cartridge eliminates hazardous steps of fragile sample manipulation
  • Archiving unique specimens for safe storage

Specimen identification

  • Positive click-stop ensures that each specimen is held in the viewing position and the specimen being viewed is identified by an indicator at the end of the holder  

Increased productivity

  • Batch or semi-automated processing by loading multiple FIBBEM cartridges onto the FIB workstation stage

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.
