TAC100 Series Liquid Nitrogen Anti-Contaminator

The TAC100 Series Liquid Nitrogen Anti-Contaminator minimizes contamination in the vicinity of the specimen within the TEM.

Key Features
Cryo protection

Detachable liquid nitrogen dewar with temperature sensor provides efficient cooling to minimize condensation of column contaminants onto the surface of the specimen
Recommended for use with liquid nitrogen cooled holders
Versatile configuration

Retractable twin blade design, also available in beryllium for analytical cryo EDX applications
Specific models for 120 kV, 200 kV and 300 kV TEMs
A TEM service engineer must be present at the time of installation of a TAC100 Series Liquid Nitrogen Anti-contaminator. It may be necessary to open the TEM column and, in some cases, the standard TEM anti-contaminator may need to be modified. Use of the twin blade or cylindrical anti-contaminator design is dependant upon the TEM manufacturer, model, pole piece gap, and the presence of in-gap accessories.
