Single tilt straining holder, model 654, is a side entry system for elongating electron transparent specimens at controlled rates in the transmission electron microscope (TEM).

The side entry, single tilt liquid nitrogen cooled straining holder, model 671, is used for cooling and elongating electron transparent specimens at controlled rates in the transmission electron microscope (TEM).

Features:

Single pushbutton operation: Start or stop the elongation process with the press of a button
Low backlash gear ratio: Gear reduction needed to provide the small displacement rate required in TEM studies is achieved using a 2190:1 low-backlash, spur gear train followed by a 40:1 reduction precision worm and wheel drive
Hexlok clamping screw: Provides firm and secure clamping of the tensile specimen
