The PELCO® TEM Grid Holder Blocks are designed to hold a number of TEM grids when they need to cleaned in a glow discharge system such as the PELCO easiGlow™ system or if they need to be coated in a carbon coater such as the Cressington 208C High Vacuum Carbon Coater.

The TEM grid holder blocks are made of a solid piece of vacuum grade aluminum and have recessed positions for each grid with slots for easy loading and lifting the grids with fine pointed tweezers. Each position also has an additional center recess to avoid any contact with the grid support area and the block. Handling of TEM grids with these blocks is much easier and more secure than using glass slides.

The PELCO® TEM Grid Holder Blocks are available in two sizes: 25 grids and 81 grids. The larger size is ideal for use coating system with a larger chamber or with rotary-tilting stages.

Dimensions:
25 TEM grid version: 35 x 35 x 6.4mm (1.4 x 1.4 x 0.25")
81 TEM grid version: 63.5 x 63.5 x 6.3mm (2.5 x 2.5 x 0.25")

The PELCO® Clamping TEM Grid Holder Block is designed to hold the 3mm or 3.05mm grids securely at the rim for coating and handling. Designed to use in vacuum deposition systems for applications such as carbon evaporation, sputtering or electron beam deposition. This clamping block can also be used for secure shipping of TEM grids. This block holds a maximum of 45 grids in a densely packed area. The top opening holes are slightly tapered with an opening of 2.5mm at the bottom. The base part has venting holes (Ø1mm) for vacuum pumping with counter bored cavities to hold the TEM grids. Grooves are provided for easy loading and removing the TEM grids. The top plate has raised rims to clamp the grids securely. The top and base plate are easily assembled using the tapered guiding pins and are held together with two allen screws.

Overall Dimensions: 48 x 48 x 10mm (1.9 x 1.9 x 0.4")

The PELCO® C-clip TEM Grid Holder Block is designed to hold 3mm or 3.05mm TEM grids securely at the rim for grid coating, processing, and handling. It can be used in vacuum deposition systems for applications such as carbon evaporation, sputtering or electron beam deposition. This system is advantageous over “clamping” style grid holder blocks in that the grids are locked into place by the C-clips, fixing their orientation and preventing free rotation of the grids. Additionally the C-clips are much lower profile as compared to a clamping plate, preventing “shadowing” and exposing much more of the surface of the grid.

This block holds a maximum of 45 grids in a densely packed area. The base of the grid holder has venting holes (Ø1mm) for vacuum pumping with counter bored cavities to hold the TEM grids and C-clips. Grooves are provided for easy loading and removing the TEM grids.

Clipping and De-clipping Tools are available to simplify placing and removal of C-clips. The PELCO® C-clip TEM Grid Holder Block is available individually (#16840-45) as well as kitted with all the tools needed to use this system effectively (#16840).
