Phenom World Eucentric Sample Holder for sample rotation and tilting

Click2Contact

The Eucentric Sample Holder, from Phenom World, allows users to quickly and safely tilt and rotate samples while imaging on a desktop SEM. The holder allows both eucentric tilting and compucentric rotation, which means users can move samples around quickly and easily without losing sight of the sample detail. The 6-axes substage is fully integrated into a regular Phenom XL sample holder, so it can be simply loaded or unloaded within 1 min.

Instead of the traditional optical cameras and touch sensors, the holder’s stage uses anticollision algorithms combined with clever engineering to keep both samples and the SEM safe. A real-time 3D visualisation module shows the actual sample position and orientation at all times, from any position the user chooses. Samples can be tilted up to angles of 90° without risk of collision, enabling worry-free operation.
