Clamp Stubs
These are generally used for holding thin objects such as a piece of IC wafer. They also can be used when adhesive
is prohibited. They have Hex-key screws that clamp with Nylon bushes onto the object. Grounding of the specimen
may need to be done by another method other than just touch contact.
Multi-Holders
The Multi-Holders fit individually on the Interface pillar using the
same pin location system. Numbers 1 and 2 have a captive centre
screw for fixing to the Interface pillar, whereas number 3 has two
captive screws offset from the centre.
16 Position Stub Holder (1)
This can be used for 12.5 mm pin stubs, the Clamp stubs, the
Polished mount holders or any pinned small holder. The pins are
held by spring pressure to prevent vibration or falling out. Using
the location pin position, with homing of the stage, each time will
allow one to map the holder into the stage location system. The 16 Position Stub Holder fits to the Interface pillar
by a captive centre screw.
Angled Stub Holder (2)
This holder can be used for a pre-tilt condition where either there is no wish to tilt the stage, or additional tilt is
needed beyond the stage tilt capabilities. The set angle is 45° and holds 4× 12.5 mm stubs at this angle. There are
also 2 positions on the top of the holder for 2× 12.5 mm stubs. All stubs are screw fixed. The Angled Stub Holder
fits to the Interface pillar by a captive centre screw.
Analytical Holder (3)
The Analytical Holder is used in conjunction with an EDX system. 2 polished 1inch mounts can be slotted from
below into the retaining holes until they become flush to the top of the holder. Here they can be locked in place by
screws in the holder side wall. This gives the specimens a common height with a Faraday cup position drilled into
the top of the holder and therefore can be common during x-ray analysis.
There are also 2 positions for 12.5 mm stubs or for standards necessary for the analysis. The 2 stubs are each held
by a screw in the side wall. The Analytical Holder fits to the Interface pillar by two captive screws equally off-set
from the centre.
Polished Mount Holders
These comprise of 2 shallow cup holders of different diameters. The sizes are 25 mm and 32 mm. These are the
general size of encapsulated mounts either for Metallurgy or Geology. The holders have a split in the side of the
cup so as to grip the mount when it is pushed in. They have a simple pin the same as the 12.5 mm stubs, therefore
can be mounted on any of the same fittings as the standard stub.
Older Interface Adapter
This adapter is used on pre-Quanta 50 mm stages that had no 2 pin locating holes. The old centre rotation head
needs to be removed from the stage and this component should replace it. It is available for those who have pre-
Quanta 50 mm stage XL30 instruments and want to use this kit.
