Highly innovative holder for rod or cone specimens
The On-Axis Rotation Tomography Holder accepts either rod-shaped or conically-shaped specimens and rotates them fully through 360º about the axis of the holder.
On-axis rotation tomography yields results without the loss of any information, thus providing the maximum achievable amount of data from the specimen.

Operation
On-Axis Rotation Tomography Holder에는 sample post 가 삽입되는 cylindrical specimen cartridge가 있습니다. sample post는 1.8mm 직경의 APFIM specimen mounts를 허용하거나 1mm로 FIB 준비된 specimens을 수용합니다.

The sample post containing the specimen is clamped into the specimen cartridge which precisely fits within the body of the holder. Longitudinal movement of the specimen cartridge is manually activated in order to retract the loaded cartridge into the body of the holder to protect the specimen during holder insertion into and removal from the TEM goniometer.

Initially, the specimen can be fully rotated through 360º to select the proper specimen orientation.  A 3-position, precision indexing mechanism then provides the means to orient the specimen in 120º increments. At each increment, the microscope’s goniometer is tilted to +60º to acquire a tomographic tilt series.
