PELCO® Modular SEM Specimen Holder Concept Explained

The PELCO® Modular SEM Specimen Holders consists of a selection of stage adapters for most commercially available SEM's, an extensive range of interchangeable SEM Specimen Holders and adapter buttons for some of the SEM stage adapters.

All Stage Adapters use either an M4 screw (supplied) or M4 thread to attach the SEM specimen holders. All SEM specimen holders have M4 thread in the bottom of the holders. The Modular SEM Specimen Holders will fit directly on the Hitachi style stage with M4 thread.

Only the Dovetail style Stage Adapters for JEOL and Zeiss/LEO need either a Short Button or an Extended Button to attach the Modular SEM Specimen Holder to the Stage Adapter.
