Sample Holder and Drawer with 13 Electrical Contacts

Reproducible positioning due to a kinematic snap-in mechanism

Flag style sample plates are commonly used in many home-built and commercial UHV surface science instruments and scanning probe microscopes. The standard holders have the disadvantage of non-reproducible positioning when placed into their receptors. To overcome this problem, we have introduced three slits in the sample plate, while keeping the outline dimensions and compatibility with existing transfer systems and receptors. If placed into the corresponding drawer which features three ruby spheres, our modified sample holder snaps in reproducibly with a precision in the micrometre range.

Up to 13 electrical high-quality spring contacts for wiring up devices

The SHOMEC13 features a total of thirteen high-quality spring contacts mounted into an AlN-isolator. The shape and opening of the top plate and shield cover can be customised to your needs.

A pocket underneath the sample mounting plate allows convenient installation of a temperature sensor

A slit in the ceramic base plate allows for the mounting of a DT-670 silicon diode temperature sensor, a thermocouple or Pt100 resistor.

We strongly recommend to purchase this product factory wired. A wiring kit includes 13 miniature 50 Ohm coaxial cables.
