PELCO silicon aperture frames

The PELCO silicon aperture frames are 3mm disc type frames with a thickness of 200µm and square or rectangular apertures. These are perfectly round, 3mm frames, featuring the Easygrip edge for easy handling. They are made with the same clean, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques as the PELCO silicon nitride support films. The silicon nitride has been removed, leaving a silicon frame. No broken edges and free of debris often associated with other manufacturing processes. Offered with three sizes of openings: 0.5 x 0.5, 1.0 x 1.0 and 1.5 x 0.5mm. Fully compatible will standard 3mm TEM holders.FeaturesSupport frame to attach TEM lamellae made with FIB, DualBeam or CrossBeam instruments for subsequent TEM imagingEasy access due to wide angle openingProtects TEM lamella during transport
