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.
