The Model 2040 Dual-Axis Tomography Holder is for room-temperature applications when TEM tomographic imaging or analysis requires in-plane rotation of the specimen. The Dual-Axis Tomography Holder features an optimal tilt-angle range. The holder features a fully jeweled mechanism for ultra-precise specimen movement, which yields highly repeatable specimen rotation while maintaining eucentric height.

Initially, the specimen can be rotated fully through 360°. Once the specimen is properly oriented, a two-position precision mechanism allows 90° in-plane rotation of the specimen. This feature greatly facilitates the acquisition of a dual-axis tilt series. The holder features a FlexiClamp, a spring-type, annular ring that securely clamps the specimen into the specimen cup. It maximizes specimen visibility, even at high-tilt angles.

Included with the holder are a holder stand, a Model 9010 Vacuum Storage Container, FlexiClamp (pack of 10), and a FlexiClamp tool.

The holder:

• Has a fully jeweled mechanism for ultra-precise planar specimen rotation
• Is optimized tilt in pole-piece gaps as small as 5 mm
• Offers an extended field of view
• Is compatible with the TEM’s touch alarm, which stops goniometer movement in the event that a pole touch occurs

Available for both JEOL and Thermo Fisher Scientific microscopes.
