Thin Film Sample Holders

Yes, these specialized holders support both ambient and in-liquid imaging environments. Liquid cell formats allow researchers to characterize thin-film substrates, precious metals, and coating materials while immersed in fluid media. This capability enables AFM and STM analysis under controlled environmental conditions, expanding experimental flexibility for delicate nanoscale investigations without compromising sample stability or imaging resolution during liquid-phase studies.

Holders are offered in multiple standard and modular formats, including a one-inch cell designed for twenty-two millimeter by twenty-two millimeter thin films and a square cell format designed for twenty-two millimeter cover slips. In addition to standard formats, modular and custom holder options can be configured to support various substrate sizes, thicknesses, and shapes depending on experimental requirements.

Yes, these thin film sample holders provide compatibility with Molecular Imaging and Agilent AFM and STM instrumentation. They integrate directly with standard mounting assemblies, allowing researchers with existing systems to perform ambient and liquid imaging. Users can also access service, repair, and performance upgrades to maintain reliable operation across ongoing experimental surface characterization workflows.

Pricing for thin film sample holders is available on request. Because experimental requirements differ across research groups, pricing depends on the selected configuration, including one-inch cells, square cover-slip cells, or custom modular holder designs. Researchers can contact the technical support team to receive detailed pricing information and quotes tailored to their specific substrate dimensions and imaging applications.

Molecular Imaging provides comprehensive support services for thin film holders and microscopy systems. Support options include direct technical support, user guides, technical manuals, AFM training, service and repair, and performance upgrades. Researchers can consult experienced technical specialists to ensure proper installation, routine maintenance, and optimal operation for both ambient and liquid imaging experimental setups.

Yes, modular and custom holder options are available to support varied substrate sizes, thicknesses, and shapes beyond the standard formats. If your research involves non-standard dimensions other than the standard twenty-two millimeter formats, specialized configurations can be arranged. Users should contact technical support with their specific substrate dimensions to evaluate suitable custom mounting configurations.
