Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can purchase a TEM sample rod holder that works with FEI/Thermo Scientific TEM rods and allows for 360° rotation to check and grease the O rings?
I have an example image attached. I shows a sample rod holder that Fischione provided with our tomography holder. This one doesn't work for double tilt holders, however.
I don't know why it's so hard to find this basic but fundamental accessory. JEOL seems to provide these with their holders. I don't know why FEI/Thermo doesn't, but it's causing all kinds of vacuum troubles not being able to easily check and grease the O rings. Thanks!

It should be a simple task for a mechanical workshop of an university to build a similar tool or modify the existing one (if the black parts are fixed by screews). An original part would be xk€, my guess.
