Micropol Model MC3 110 Volts:
Micropol is a compact, electronically controlled, precise mechanical specimen grinder/polisher designed for planar grinding, dimpling, thinning and polishing of specimens in the fields of nanotechnology, semiconductors and materials science. The parameters of polishing (speed, load, time, etc.) can be matched according to the properties of the specimen. High quality samples are prepared with minimal effects by the operator.
General:
Micropol polishes by the action of an arm moving the specimen in a random geometric pattern, pressing it to the bottom of a bowl containing suitable abrasive material. The abrasive material can be grinding paper or suspension of polishing compound deposited on polishing cloth.
Features:
- Small size (251 x 210 x 181 mm)
- Easy-to-use
- Many possible applications
- Rugged, corrosion-proof construction
- Variable speed control for precision polishing
- Quick change bayonet mount bowls
- Timer for automatic operation
Application:
- The Micropol MC2 has been specially designed for precision TEM polishing applications.
- Mechanical thinning and polishing of light microscopic and transmission electron microscopic samples prior to ion beam thinning. For this purpose four types of specimen holder have been designed. All are convenient for mounting samples 3 mm or less in diameter.
- Mineralogy, metallurgy, materials science.
