Fischione Instruments Model 200 Dimpling Grinder
Key Features
- The Model 200 Dimpling Grinder is a state-of-the-art mechanical grinder for preparing electron microscopy samples. It is indispensable when ion milling is used for final specimen thinning. Once the specimen is pre-thinned by dimpling, ion milling must remove only a relatively small amount of material.
- High-quality specimens for transmission electron microscopy need to be both rugged and have a large electron transparent area for analysis.
- Dimpling is a rapid technique that involves rotating both the grinding wheel and the specimen.
Key Applications and available processes
- Precision grinding of center of 3 mm diameter disks to < 10 um, to promote shorter times for subsequent Argon ion milling of samples for transmission electron microscopy
- Grinding rates typically in the 0 – 6 um/min range
- Useful for ceramic or metallic samples
