FIB AutoGrid Rings & C-clips

NanoSoft's patent (pending) FIB AutoGrid Rings are a superior alternative for clipping FIB grids for use in Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS) Cryo-FIB systems, and offer several major improvements over standard TFS FIB rings. These improved rings have a significantly increased area of the grid accessible for ion beam milling. Typical FIB rings have a small angled notch on the flat "backside" of the ring to allow for shallow-angled ion beam milling on a limited portion of the grid. Alternatively, the “backside” of these improved FIB AutoGrid Rings have an angled face around their entire circumference, providing a substantial increase in milling area, reclaiming valuable sample/cells on your grid.

These FIB AutoGrid Rings also have high contrast orientation marks, making correct visual orientation easy without the need to manually mark the ring with a marker, as is often the case with the less visible markings of standard TFS FIB rings. These improved FIB AutoGrid Rings also have matching marks on the "topside", so you can see the orientation of the ring when clipping a grid.

These FIB AutoGrid Rings are manufactured with the same cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and quality control as our "regular" AutoGrid Rings (#47000-650), resulting in superior quality, reliable, and consistent parts, all while being more affordable than our competitors.

Key features:

• Markings – dark, high contrast marks on both faces making orientation much easier
• Angled Face – entire bottom face of the FIB ring is angled for a larger milling area

For use in TFS Aquilos, Helios, Hydra, Arctis, Scios. Available in packs of 100 FIB AutoGrid Ring & C-clip pairs (#47000-652) or packs of 100 C-clips only, without rings (#47000-651).
