FIB AutoGrid rings and C-clips

NanoSoft's patent (pending) FIB AutoGrid Rings are a superior alternative for clipping FIB grids for use in Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) Cryo-FIB systems, and offer several major improvements over standard TFS FIB rings. These rings have a significantly increased area of the grid accessible for ion beam milling. Typical FIB rings have a small cut-out notch on the back, flat side of the ring to allow for shallow-angled ion beam milling on a limited portion of the grid. On the other hand, the “backside” of these FIB AutoGrid Rings have an angled face around the entire circumference, providing a substantial increase in milling area, reclaiming valuable sample/cells on your grid.Features:Markings – dark, high contrast marks on both faces making orientation much easierAngled Face – entire bottom face of the FIB ring is angled for a larger milling areaThese FIB AutoGrid Rings have high co...

NanoSoft's patent (pending) FIB AutoGrid Rings are a superior alternative for clipping FIB grids for use in Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) Cryo-FIB systems, and offer several major improvements over standard TFS FIB rings. These rings have a significantly increased area of the grid accessible for ion beam milling. Typical FIB rings have a small cut-out notch on the back, flat side of the ring to allow for shallow-angled ion beam milling on a limited portion of the grid. On the other hand, the “backside” of these FIB AutoGrid Rings have an angled face around the entire circumference, providing a substantial increase in milling area, reclaiming valuable sample/cells on your grid.

Features:

  • Markings – dark, high contrast marks on both faces making orientation much easier
  • Angled Face – entire bottom face of the FIB ring is angled for a larger milling area

These FIB AutoGrid Rings have high contrast orientation marks, making correct visual orientation easy without the need to manually mark the ring with a marker, as is often the case with the less visible markings of standard TFS FIB rings. These FIB AutoGrid Rings also have matching marks on the "top face", so you can see the orientation of the ring when clipping a grid.

These FIB AutoGrid Rings are manufactured with the same cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and quality control as our "regular" AutoGrid Rings (#47000-650), resulting in superior quality, reliable, and consistent parts, all while being more affordable than our competitors.

For use in TFS Aquilos, Helios, Hydra, Arctis, Scios. Available in packs of 100 FIB AutoGrid Ring & C-clip

C-clips without rings are also available separately: GTP47000-651.
