There are several types of sample holders, each designed for specific applications and techniques:
SEM Holders: Used in scanning electron microscopy, these holders are designed to keep samples stable under a vacuum and allow for precise positioning. AFM Holders: These holders are crucial for atomic force microscopy, where the sample needs to be extremely stable and precisely positioned under the AFM tip. TEM Holders: Transmission electron microscopy requires thin, electron-transparent samples, and the holders are designed to support these samples while minimizing interference. Cryo-Holders: Used for cryogenic applications, these holders maintain samples at extremely low temperatures to preserve their native structures.
