Sample Polisher

Allied High Tech Mulitprep Precision Polishing System

  • For  preparing a wide range of materials for microscopy studies, including parallel polishing, precise angle polishing, site-specific polishing, or any combination.
  • Can execute second-side TEM wedge polishing, wedge/plan-view TEM polishing and multiple-sample thinning for FIB analyses.
  • Quantification of material removal by maintaining geometric orientation of the sample relative to the abrasive plane during polishing and monitoring rate of polish.
  • Platen rotation speeds range from 5 to 350 RPM, clockwise or counterclockwise.
  • Cross-sectioning paddleholds for flat, unencapsulated samples perpendicular to the platen.
