Digital, Carbon Fiber Caliper, Certified
Designed for the lab
Switch from inches to millimeters at the touch of a button.
Great for use in measuring scratch or damage sensitive materials.
Will not corrode when used on tissue or other wet materials.
This caliper will measure up to 6″ (152mm).
The graduated scale on the caliper body is for approximate reference only.
The exact measurement (accurate to 0.1mm/0.01″) is shown on the LCD display.
Zeroes at any point
Zero button instantly sets unit to zero when jaws are at any position.
This permits setting a Floating Zero or reference point to read greater than or less than results with a minus sign displayed without calculations.
Ergonomic design, precision calipers are ideal for measuring outside or inside diameter.
Easy to read, large digital display is 1/3″ (8.5mm) high.
Traceable to NIST for accuracy
No lubrication is ever required on the ultra-smooth slide bar. Runs on the supplied battery for 10,000 hours. Made of strong composite carbon fiber.
To assure accuracy an individually serial-numbered Certificate is provided from an ISO 17025 calibration laboratory accredited by A2LA.
It indicates traceability to standards provided by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).

| Chemographic test samples with synthetic GSR distributions These Chemographic test specimens have been developed for the optimisation and validation of chemographic methods for Shooting Distance Determination (SDD) forensic work along with other applications.They are suitable as sample material for inter-laboratory tests according to ISO-Guide 43-1 and 2 or DIN/ISO 5725, as they meet the DIN/ISO requirements for identical sample material.GSR pattern distributions containing lead (Pb), are printed on the surface of a textile sample using a special, patent-protected printing process. The applied distributions simulate typical GSR distributions from different shooting distances (synthetic GSR) or serve to control the applied dyeing/staining process (Homogeneity & Resolution Limit). They are suitable for chemographic staining of the lead (Pb) distribution with both the reagents sodium rhodizonate and with sodium sulphide. Two sets are available: Synthetic GSR distributions The ‘comparison shot series’ consists of 24 textile samples. The applied distributions simulate typical GSR pattern applications for distances of 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, and 2000mm. The set consists of 2 x 12 samples as illustrated and is particularly suitable for testing the quality of the staining process on actual samples or for validating the process.
Homogeneity & Resolution Sample This set consists of 24 textile samples; 18 homogeneity and 6 resolution. The prints are designed to assess the homogeneity or lateral resolution limit for chemographic staining of GSR pattern distributions (see illustration for the layout of the Homogeneity and Resolution sample). The textile samples are particularly suitable for checking and documenting the quality/reproducibility of the dyeing process used on a regular basis, eg. as required by ISO 17025.
Both sets are only partially suitable for direct dyeing of the lead (Pb) distribution on the fabric. |  |

Forensic Field Sampler
A high purity certified 12.7mm SEM pin stub specimen mount (see 16253, below) with and without an adhesive carbon conductive tab, mounted into the plastic cap of a glass specimen vial (25mm OD x 55mm high).
The Forensic Field Sampler has been designed to collect forensic evidence with minimum interference and/or contamination coming from the sampler.
Comes in 3 versions: without adhesive carbon tab, with adhesive carbon tab ready to use, and covered carbon tab (plastic cover needs to be removed prior to use).
Available with standard 12.7mm SEM pin mount with 8mm pin or short 12.7mm SEM pin mount with 6mm pin (ZEISS/LEO)
Applications for SEM or light microscopy investigation:
- Gunshot residue (GSR)
- Fiber collection
- Particle sampling
- Glass fragments
- Paint chips
- Powder samples
- Ideally suited for SEM specimen preparation on the most commonly used SEM pin stub, facilitating easy carbon coating for SEM/EDX investigation.
The Forensic Field Sampler can be safely stored in the glass specimen vial and can be easily shipped since the cap holds the sampler stub in place.
Evidence material is held by the adhesive carbon tab.

| CorrStub SEM specimen stubs for correlative microscopy Analysis and characterisation of organic and non-organic samples can involve the collection of images and data using a variety of instruments and techniques and, in most cases, the use of a single analytical approach is unable to provide all of the answers required. Typically combinations of techniques such as SEM and light microscopy are used to determine complete characterisation. With this in mind Agar Scientific have developed the new CorrStub specimen stub incorporating a unique referencing feature allowing analysis of exactly the same point, on the same sample, easily and repeatedly over alternative instruments.
CorrStub is available as a standard 12.5mm dia specimen stub to fit LEO/CAMBRIDGE, FEI/PHILIPS, CAMSCAN, TESCAN and ZEISS instruments. The stubs are available separately or can be individually pre-fitted with a high conductivity carbon Al core tab, or Leit tabs and mounted in either single storage tubes (AGG3626) or in lightweight boxes of 12 (AGG3103). The CorrStub can also be supplied laser etched with a unique serial number for sample identification. |  |

| The simplicity of application and smooth, clean surfaces of PELCO Tabs Carbon Conductive Tabs are a significant improvement compared to many of the other common adhesives that have been used in SEM mounting. Both tab sides have a thick conductive adhesive (conductive inner tab is 35 m and the adhesive is 45 m on each side for a total thickness of 125 m [5 mils]) with a liner on both sides, a transparent liner and white liner respectively. They are ready for immediate use. The top protective liner does not have to be removed until the sample is ready to be mounted. Many laboratories use these tabs for SEM in a large diversity of applications. Adhering of the tab to a mount or surface should be done slowly and carefully to maintain surface smoothness. Refrigeration will increase shelf life but a warm up period of one hour is then required before use. The PELCO Tabs consist of a carbon fiber mat impregnated with a conductive adhesive. The conductive adhesive is a carbon filled acrylic, free of solvents. It can be removed from the specimen mount with ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, alcohols or our 3M Adhesive Remover 80924 which is solvent-free. Temperature maximum is 60 C (140 F). High purity carbon tabs may contain very small impurities of Al and Si; see EDX Spectra. |
