MolecularPrecision is the CNC machining division of Molecularspray Ltd, soon offering a range of products to the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and surface science communities beyond our electrospray deposition sources. We can provide accurate standard and bespoke surface science components from sample plates and manipulation, to heating stages and molecular deposition. We offer a tailored service from design to machining including CAD, CAM and CNC-machining in a variety of UHV-compatible materials.
Flag-style (Omicron-style) sample holders
The flag-style sample plate, oftentimes referred to as an Omicron sample plate, has become something of a standard across many UHV surface science instruments. These plates have an eyelet that can be grabbed by a transfer arm for manipulation from a load-lock or vacuum suitcase into the sample stage. Depending on the instrument or the process, what they are made of and their exact geometry really matters.
