| Ultrasonic Cutter
- quickly cuts TEM discs (2,3 mm or 3 mm in size) from hard or brittle materials ranging from <40 µm to 1 mm in thickness. Disc Grinder
- for mechanically pre-thinning of disc specimens with high quality and uniform thickness.
Dimple Grinder
- mechanically reduce, with minimal damage, the central region of a typical 100 µm thick, 3 mm diameter specimen blank to a few microns.

Precision Ion Polishing System PIPS 691- designed to produce high-quality TEM specimens with exceptionally large, clean, electron-transparent areas. Ion polishing is done by two ion guns with variable-angle. System with using of liquid nitrogen cold stage and CCD imafing system.
- Continous adjustment of beam energy from 100eV to 6 kV
- Two Penning ion guns with milling angle +10° to -10°
- Rotation variable from 1 rpm to 6 rpm

|
Vacuum Evaporator JEE-420T
- for coating of various specimens that are suitable for high resolution observation using transmisssion and scanning electron microscopes. It is useful in rapid preparation of fine-grain TEM specimen support films by carbon evaporation.
- Turbo molecular pump 7x10-5 Pa or less
- Tilting and rotation possibility of samples
- Film thickness monitor
|
Turbo-Pumped Sputter Coater/Carbon Coater Q150T
- compact turbomolecular-pumped coating system suitable for SEM, TEM and many thin film applications. High vacuum turbo pumping allows sputtering of a wide range of oxidizing and non-oxidizing metals suitable for SEM, high resolution FE-SEM and also for many thin film applications.
- Precise thickness controlled using film thickness monitor
- Fully automatic touch screen control
- Variable angle ’Rota-cota’ rotary planetary stage with 50 mm ø specimen platform
