Fortress™ FIB Holders are reusable holders that secure FIB samples that are held in a specific orientation without the use of adhesives, adhesive pads, or conductive paint. Fortress™FIB Holders can be used to position a thin, whole or cut TEM grid/disk in an orientation such that either an in-situ or an ex-situ FIB lift-out technique can be used to attach an FIB-prepared sample. The Fortress™ holders will accept a 3mm disk or a specially prepared diced samples used for H-bar preparation. Physical protection of the mounted sample on the grid is provided with the CastleGuard™ protection design. CastleGuard™ protection provides a rigid support structure that shields the sample while allowing required access for processing. Fortress™ FIB Holders are designed to fit into the SS100 and SS200 SampleSaver™ storage containers for storage and transport in an inert environment. Up to 10 Fortress™ FIB holders can be stored in a single SS100 SampleSaver™ storage container. Up to 30 Fortress™ FIB holders can be stored in a single SS200 SampleSaver™ storage container. The modified Fortress FIB Holders are designed for use with the Plasma Trimmer™ and Plasma Trimming™ Rod instruments for removing ion damage from FIB and Tripod Polished prepared TEM specimens. The modified Fortress™ FIB holders have the same clamping mechanism and will accommodate the same types of samples. They do not come with the Castle Guard™ protection.
