SEM stub adaptors

EM-Tec stub adaptors enable the use of all common types of SEM stubs or mounts in another type of SEM. Adaptors from a base of one type of SEM stub to a top of another type of SEM are available, offering a cost-effective solution and practical advantages when changing between SEM instruments.

Advantages of SEM stub adaptors

No need to risk specimen integrity
