Nano-R™ Sample Holders
The unique Nano-R™ sample holder is designed so that it can accommodate many types and sizes of samples. The sample holder that comes standard with the Nano-R™ is 2 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches tall. On the top of the sample holder is a magnetic plate that holds sample disks. A drawing showing the dimension of the sample holder as well as a photograph of the sample holder is shown in below. Standard Sample holder Examples of modifications of the sample holder to accommodate different types of samples include: Holder for MTS Nanoindenter Sample The MTS Nanoindenter has a sample holder that is an aluminum cylinder. The Nano-R™ sample holder was easily modified to accommodate the MTS sample holder. With the modification it is easy to rapidly move samples from the Nanoindenter to the Nano-R™ AFM. Holder for MTS Nanoindenter Sample Addition of X-Y-Z micropositioner for electrical probing By adding an X-Y-Z micropositioner to the sample holder, an electrical test stage can be created. A test probe can be attached to the positioner. Then the test probe (or probes) can be placed on a sample. The entire sample holder/positioner assembly can then be placed into the Nano-R™ AFM.
