A versatile and widely used sample holder designed for various applications. Available as a blank plate or in configurations featuring M1.4 screws for secure sample fixation or cutouts for specific requirements.
Threads in tungsten are not feasible, as the material is too brittle.
Molybdenum is not suitable for oxygen atmospheres and heating.
Reason: Although molybdenum forms a protective oxide layer and therefore is not damaged, this oxide layer poses a problem. It is not sufficiently strongly bonded to the surface (a simplified way to imagine it: it lies on the surface like a powder) and thus contaminates the sample, with MoO₃ found everywhere on the sample.
