677FIB Single Tilt Multiple Specimen Holder

The Model 677FIB Single Tilt Multiple Specimen Holder accepts interchangeable cartridges called FIBBEM™s.  Each FIBBEM™'s clamping mechanism securely holds multiple specimens for preparation in the FIB instrument.  Post processing, the FIBBEM™ is transferred to the 677FIB holder for viewing the specimens in the TEM.

Key Features

Enhanced specimen access

• Large cutouts in the FIBBEM™ allow access of the ion beam and reactive gases to interact with the samples

Safe specimen handling

• FIBBEM™ cartridge eliminates hazardous steps of fragile sample manipulation
• Archiving unique specimens for safe storage

Specimen identification

• Positive click-stop ensures that each specimen is held in the viewing position and the specimen being viewed is identified by an indicator at the end of the holder  

Increased productivity

• Batch or semi-automated processing by loading multiple FIBBEM™ cartridges onto the FIB workstation stage

Tilt ranges and compatibility of specimen holders vary according to the TEM manufacturer, model, pole piece gap, and the presence of in-gap accessories.  Please contact your local Gatan representative for more information.
