Using a slightly larger sample chamber, we were able to integrate an MM3A-EM micromanipulator into the Phenom desktop SEM. The upright standing micromanipulator can be used to precisely position a sample in three dimensions. Additionally, a tool tip is mounted to the sample holder. The tool tip can be a needle, microgripper, or force sensor.
Give your microscope a hand: use the MM3A-EM to add new capabilities and functionality to your instrument.
