The 90-degrees sample mount is intended for clamping AFM/SPM samples at 90 degrees to enable easy imaging of cross section or sides of a sample. It is made from magnetic stainless steel (alloy 430) to hold the sample or cross section securely up to a maximum thickness of 2mm. Ideal for thin sections or cross sections of silicon chips. It can be used on AFM/SPM systems which include a magnet in the sample stage
