SPI Supplies offers the widest variety of SEM specimen mounts available. Our extensive line includes your choice of aluminum and carbon mounts designed to fit all major brands of scanning electron microscopes. In some parts of the world, what we call SEM "mounts" are called SEM "studs". And yet other parts of the world call them "stubs".

Mounted SEM samples can be one-of-a-kind and a real asset, make sure they are stored in high quality SEM mount storage boxes! Prepare your samples on SEM mounts using the double sided conductive adhesive tapes, sheets, and discs and SPI conductive silver and carbon paints.

Be sure to check out the Sales Section for discontinued SEM mounts available at greatly reduced prices!

Aluminum Specimen Mounts for SEM

Our standard mounts for SEM are made from an aluminum alloy which is specially selected for its machinability so that the surface of the mount as machined is very smooth and ready for use. SPI Supplies aluminum mounts are available in two finishes: lathe and luster.

Lathe Finish. Cut with a high speed lathe (screw machine), the surface contains just barely visible concentric rings, which form convenient reference points for the center of the mount.

SPI-Luster™ Finish. Not a polished mount. We take our standard lathe finish mounts and process them in such a way as to essentially eliminate the concentric rings.

Polished Finish. The ultimate mount surface ... Metallographic polishing techniques are used to produce a mirror-like finish. Ideal for studies requiring smooth, featureless surfaces.

Spectroscopically Pure Carbon Specimen Mounts for SEM and EDS

All of our carbon mounts are spectroscopically pure carbon, purified to reduce all impurities to the less than 10 ppm level, and to a point that no currently available EDS detector could detect. The only extraneous peaks observed from these mounts are of course, carbon, if the EDS detector being used can detect carbon, and an "apparent" (imperceptible to most persons) Si peak, we believe is an artifact from the Bremsstrahlung radiation background curve.

Ultra Smooth™ Surface
Specially designed for EDS analyses on fine particles and fibers. Asbestos fibers, bacteria, blood cells, etc. do not get lost in the substrate structure. Mounts are not beam-sensitive and they are conductive, offering two major advantages over polymeric membrane filters and double sided adhesive products.
