Phenom Accessories

Introducing the Motorised Tilt & Rotation Sample Holder for the Phenom Desktop SEM, which enables computer-controlled smart rotation and tilting of your sample. The Motorised Tilt & Rotation Sample Holder offers smart Compucentric Rotation at continuous 360° in 0.2° steps and smart p-seudo-eucentric tilt of -10° to + 45° tilt range in 0.2° steps.

The Temperature Controlled Sample Holder option, which allows the user to easily adjust and monitor the temperature of a sample in the SEM via a dedicated digital display.

With a temperature range of -25°C to +50°C, it is perfectly suited to imaging wet or delicate samples in Biological, Pharmaceutical, Histology & Food Research applications.

The Charge Reduction Sample Holder is an optional extra available for any Phenom which significantly reduces the effects of sample charging.

The Charge Reduction Sample Holder works by reducing the pressure in the sample chamber, thereby significantly reducing sample charging effects that can be seen on non-conductive samples.

The Micro Tool Holder is a new type of sample holder that can be retro-fitted to any Phenom.

• No scratching or contaminating the sample
• Instant preparation and loading

• Up to 8 times higher magnification before charging is visible, compared to the standard Phenom sample holder.
• The need for sputter-coating is reduced dramatically, so no additional equipment is required and sample preparation is faster.
• Non-conductive samples can be imaged in their natural state, providing valuable back scatter material contrast information.

Easy and safe eucentric movements with 6 motorized axes.

In many SEM applications, a user can gain more insight into sample properties if the sample can be tilted and rotated. The Eucentric Sample Holder for the Phenom XL has been specifically developed with that purpose in mind. The holder contains a sub-stage that allows users to easily and safely look at a sample from all sides. A sample can be lifted, tilted, rotated and shifted without losing sight of the sample detail.

The Resin Mount Sample Insert is available in 3 models for supporting standard sized samples of 25mm (~1 inch), 32mm (~1 ¼ inch) and 40mm (~1 ½ inch) diameter. An allen key for clamping the samples is standard included.

• 9x 25mm (1”) diameter samples, maximum 25mm height
• 6x 32mm (1 ¼”) diameter samples, maximum 25mm height
• 4x 40mm (1 ½”) diameter samples, maximum 25mm height

The filter insert for the Phenom XL is available in two models:

• 9x 25mm (1”) diameter sample
• 4x 47mm (1.85”) diameter samples
