NEW Carb-N-Grids™

Pure Carbon Grids with 2 V-style posts. These grids are made of pure carbon and show very low background for EDS and spectroscopy, and very high adhesion of beam-deposited platinum, making for highly stable attachment of sample lamella. These grids come as a strip of 10, where the individual grids are easily removed from the backing with tweezers. Ideal for samples for spectroscopic examination and where metals such as copper must be avoided. The unique carbon material is mechanically robust and gives smooth edges at the attachment points. The grids are 3mm in diameter and approximately 70µm thick. Two post grids have 315 x 70 x 300µm (W x D x H) posts, while four post grids have two narrow posts of 60 x 120µm, and two wide posts 120 x 190µm with a 120 degree notch at the end.

NEW PELCO^® Indicator FIB Lift-Out TEM Grids

The PELCO^® FIB Lift-Out TEM Grids have been designed for in-situ lift to attach the TEM lamellas milled out by SEM/FIB or FIB systems. The design has been optimized for access and flexibility. The nominal diameter of the sturdy PELCO^® FIB Lift-Out Grids is 3mm. These grids fit an all standard TEM holders and provide a full view of the lamella attached to the posts.

PELCO^® FIB Lift-Out TEM Grids come in 4, 5, or 8 post formats. Each post is labelled by an easy to read dot pattern beneath the post. The typical thickness of the copper lift-out grids is 35µm +/-5µm. Mo grids are nominally 25µm thick. The copper grids have a thin ridge surrounding the posts for extra support. Mo grids have sharp edges. Posts are is 60 x 25 x 190µm (W x D x H). Copper grids are sold in packs of 50. The molybdenum grids have four posts, two narrow and two wide. Narrow posts are 60 x 190µm (W x H) and wide posts are 120 x 190µm with a 120 degree notch at the end.

Silicon PELCO^® FIB Lift-Out Grid TEM Grids

The thickness of the silicon lift-out grids is 100µm which makes them compatible with all standard TEM holders. Perfect half circular shape which fits nicely in the TEM grid holder. Debris-free, metal-free lift-out grids which readily bond with Pt to attach the lamellas. Straight edges, similar to the Cu and Mo grids; easy to handle. B-doped, conductive silicon minimizes charging during sample preparation and TEM imaging. Available with four narrow posts, which can be shaped if needed. Post size is 80 x 100 x 190µm (W x D x H). Sold in packs of 10.
