Specimen Holder Kit Option
The Specimen Holder Kit is universal, the interfacing parts allow the fitting of all the common components to the
most of the FEI systems. Major holders in the kit locate with a 2 pin system originating from the stage rotation
head, through the interface piece, to the holder. All interfacing parts have a 3 point contact to minimize vibration.
The Specimen Holder Kit comprises of:
• Older type 50 mm stage adapter
• Interface pillar for all multi-fittings
• 16 Position stub holder (spring held)
• Angled stub holder, 4 at 45°, 2 at 0°
• Analytical holder 2× 1 inch samples
• 25 mm and 32 mm diameter Polished mount

• 1× 10 mm Torx driver
• 1× 6 mm Torx driver
Location Positions
The interface parts and all fitting holders have a 2 pin
/ 2 hole location system. This is present so that
holders can be positioned in the same orientation
each time they are fitted. All stages have 2 holes, one
is round and the other is a slot. This will allow the
stage location system to work with a holder for
precise specimen position.
This works directly from the Home condition of the
stage. The stage needs to be homed before fitting of
the Holder interface components.
Interface Pillar
This component is used to attach the 3 multi-holders
individually to the stage. It is fixed to the stage by the
captive centre screw.
Torx Drivers
Within the kit are two Torx drivers to complete the
fitting of the interfacing parts. All screws for
interfacing connections are Torx. All screws for
clamping sample stubs are the Hex-key type (the
appropriate Hex-key tool is a standard facility).
