Precision Ion Milling System Ⅱ
- Ion polishing by two miniature Penning ion guns (PIGs) aimed at
glancing angles of incidence to the specimen - Minimization of radiation damage and beam heating
- Producing specimens having exceptionally, large, clean electron transparent areas
- Specimen preparation times for dimpled specimens: from 0.5 to 2 hours
depending on the initial specimen thickness - Single side specimen post in order to minimize specimen contamination
by secondary sputtering and provides an excellent heat sink which
stops specimens from becoming overheated by the ion beam - Autotermintion prior to perforation
- Pneumatic Sputter Shield
