title: Light-Field System LF4-CUBE | Mel-Build
description: High Vacuum station with remove contamination. A plasma cleaner cannot remove contamination over the entire holder surface, though it is effective for cleaning just the sample. That is, a plasma cleaner cannot perfectly clean the tem holder the sample would be re-contaminated by residue materials from the tem holder shaft when observed by TEM. The LF4 system can clean both your sample and the entire holder surface under light and high vacuum without any sputtering damage. This improves your TEM and STEM data.

# Light-Field System LF4-CUBE

- ![remove contamination high vacuum station](https://melbuild.com/hubfs/melbuild.com/images/remove-contamination/img_remove-contamination01.png)

Removes contamination from samples and holder shafts  
No re-contamination during observation  
High-vacuum holder station: less than 1X10-4 Pa

## Remove Contamination Mecanisum

- ![LF4 3](https://melbuild.com/hubfs/LF4%203.jpg)

### 4ports High Vacuum station less than 1X10-4Pa(spec.)

### Halogen lamp annealing Removes contamination

### The annealing temperature is adjusted by height using the our original thermometer.

A plasma cleaner cannot remove contamination over the entire holder surface, though it is effective for cleaning just the sample. That is, a plasma cleaner cannot perfectly clean the holder; the sample would be re-contaminated by residue materials from the holder shaft when observed by TEM.

Important points

1. All surfaces of both the holder and sample need cleaning.
2. Plasma damages the sample.

The LF4 system can clean both your sample and the entire holder surface under light and high vacuum without any sputtering damage. This improves your TEM and STEM data.

## LF4 Other option and functions

### Other three functions

![remove contamination high vacuum station](https://melbuild.com/hubfs/melbuild.com/images/remove-contamination/img_remove-contamination05.png)

### Extension Ports

Various expansion chambers of options  
can be installed using this.

![remove contamination high vacuum station](https://melbuild.com/hubfs/melbuild.com/images/remove-contamination/img_remove-contamination06.png)

### Skewer Valve

You can used as port when pumping  
Cryo holder Dewar.

![img\_remove-contamination010](https://melbuild.com/hubfs/img_remove-contamination010.png)

### Thermometer probe

The annealing temperature is  
adjusted by this.

### Other option chambers

![remove contamination high vacuum station](https://melbuild.com/hubfs/melbuild.com/images/remove-contamination/img_remove-contamination08.png)

### EX4 additional station

4 ports can be added using the extension port.  
The same applies to LF4, but the port shape  
can be selected one by one.

![img\_remove-contamination09](https://melbuild.com/hubfs/img_remove-contamination09.png)

### Multi port Chamber 8

Each TEM Holder, SEM stage and  
your samples cleaning by Plasma Clean.  
You can make use of 6 ports in any way.
