Hold & Stretch Fibers and Films
Fibers, films and similar samples can be easily clamped taut and stretched by user defined increments.

Enhanced cross sections & analysis of multi-layer films
With the additionally available SliceIR Clamps you can securely fix your samples in an angle of 15° , 30° or also in 90° and then cut them easily with a razor blade.
Cutting your sample in a 15°/30° angle enlarges the cross-section of your sample two/four times. Likewise, the various layers of your samples are more discernible, so that even the thinnest layers of your sample are visible for analysis.
These clamps can be purchased additionally. All clamps fit on all MicroVice sample holder models.
