PELCO Tripod Polisher
590TEM, 590SEM, 590TS
Prepare TEM and SEM samples of pre-specified micron-sized regions
The PELCO® Tripod Polisher™ 590 was designed by researchers at the IBM East Fishkill Laboratory* to accurately prepare TEM and SEM samples of pre-specified, micron-sized regions.
For TEM samples, this technique has been used successfully to limit ion milling times to less than 15 minutes and, in some cases, has eliminated the need for ion milling.
Although this technique was designed for preparing semiconductor cross-sections, it has been used to prepare both plan-view and cross-section samples from such diverse materials as ceramics, composites, metals, and geological samples.
Features & Benefits
- Precise cross-sectioning at the TEM level
- Repeatable and rapid production of TEM samples
- Reduces ion milling time to minutes as opposed to hours
- Produces large thin areas over the entire specimen
This updated design (#59318) ships with all new PELCO® Tripod Polishers™, but the previous design (#59307) is still available for order as a replacement part.
The image on the left shows the new Slotted L-Bracket with Easy Locking Lever (#59318) mounted on the Tripod Polisher™ and configured for wedge polishing with the Wedge Polishing Mount (#59306).
