Ion milling system to prepare wide cross section of a sample, ion sputter to increase the conductivity of non-conductive sample and sample cleaner to reduce contamination which disturb electron microscope observation.

Ion Milling Systems
Ion milling systems implement an Ar+ ion beam to polish the surface of the sample and make it suitable for particular electron microscope analyzes. The systems support both cross-section milling and flat milling.

  • Cross-section Milling: Used to produce wider, undistorted cross sections without applying mechanical stress to the sample
  • Flat Milling: Used for removing surface layer artifacts and final polish after traditional mechanical polishing techniques.

Sample Cleaners
Sample surfaces are inevitably contaminated with hydrocarbon due to sample preparation or storage. For high quality electron analysis, it is necessary to remove this contamination from the surfaces with sample cleaners, which assure proper cleaning without damaging the samples.

Ion Sputter
An ion sputter increases the conductivity of non-conductive samples to prevent charging during electron microscope observation.
