Threaded SEM Mounts
Threaded SEM mounts carry a male or female screw thread instead of a plain pin or flat base, allowing them to be screwed into a mating threaded holder, extension post, or vise fixture rather than clipped or pressed into place.
Manufacturer: SPI Supplies — USA
Overview
Threaded SEM mounts carry a male or female screw thread instead of a plain pin or flat base, allowing them to be screwed into a mating threaded holder, extension post, or vise fixture rather than clipped or pressed into place. They are machined from aluminum, with a pure-carbon female-thread version also offered, and share the Lathe, Luster, and Polished finish options used across the rest of the aluminum mount range. This style suits applications where a secure, non-slip mechanical connection is needed, such as with certain HITACHI stage adapters or custom specimen posts. Threaded mounts are also combined with the 45° angled geometry in one catalogue item for tilted, screw-mounted viewing.
Thread & Size Options
Female-threaded mounts are offered with table diameters from 15 mm to 26 mm and heights of about 6 mm, while male-threaded mounts are supplied as narrow 4 mm diameter by 30 mm long posts for use with extension or vise-type holders.
Compatibility
Threaded female mounts in the catalogue are listed as compatible with HITACHI instruments, reflecting their use as drop-in replacements for stage-specific threaded stub sockets.
