Routine sample preparation procedures for TEM

We will use whatever routine (for us) procedures might be required for the same standard cost.


There is a wide range if different preparation procedures for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). So long as we are using established procedures, including shadowing, replication and room temperature diamond knife thin-sectioning as warranted for the particular sample at hand, the work will generally be done for the same basic charge.

           1                 $ 850
         2 - 5                 600

Hard modulus/hard to section samples that would quickly destroy a normal "life science" diamond.

Analytical TEM available on high resolution JEOL equipment.

Particle size distribution analysis available as economically priced on to the microscopy work.
