Ordering MicroMounts

Each box contains 20 MicroMounts precision-attached to nonmagnetic solid stainless steel rods (also called "pins").

You can purchase single-size boxes with sample apertures of 10, 20, 30, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 μm.

We also offer small (A1), medium (A2) and large (A3) aperture assortments, as shown below.

We recommend initially ordering our Assortments (A1, A2, A3), so that you can match the mount aperture to the size of your sample. If certain sizes turn out to be more common than others, you can then order full boxes of those sizes.

Micromounts are mounted on solid stainless steel rods (also called "pins") with lengths of 11 mm, 18 mm / SPINE, 19 mm and 25 mm. If necessary they can be cut to a desired length using spring steel compatible cutters . Rods can be easily bent using needlenose pliers to place the crystal in a desired orientation.

We recommend ordering our 18 mm / SPINE length rods, which are now standard at nearly all synchrotron beam lines in the world; most also accept the 19 mm length, but all other lengths are rapidly becoming obsolete. If you like copper-post style caps/goniometer bases and have been using 10 or 11 mm rods with them, consider our B3S copper post base, which accepts SPINE length rods, or our B3 or B3A copper post bases, which accept full 19 mm length rods.

Excess liquid can be removed from the wicking aperture using size 15 liquid wicks.

Mounts can be cleaned ultrasonically or using Medium or Fine liquid wicks.

We recommend using our heavy-duty tweezers for handling MicroMounts.

See our Technical Notes pages for tips on using MicroMounts.
