Electron Microscopy Sample Preparation Systems

With the Thermo Scientific™ Nebula™ Particle Dispenser, a standard method for uniform dry powder dispersion on SEM stubs becomes available. The Nebula ensures best sample preparation by obtaining a mono layer of particles avoiding particle clusters while maintaining the structure of fragile...

The Thermo Scientific™ μPolisher system is a unique solution for in situ, very low energy, local surface modification, including polishing and cleaning of bulk samples. The system uses static beam of gaseous Ar+ ions with adjustable energies and a wide range of ion currents to ensure gentle surface...

The Thermo Scientific™ resin mount inserts offer a few specific advantages. Sample clamping is very straight forward and all samples will have the same working distance which is very useful when performing X-ray energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) analysis.

Filter paper samples which are often used for filter residue analysis and asbestos analysis must be mounted firmly and flat into the SEM system for correct analysis. As filter paper is a delicate sample material, mounting these samples without the use of an insert can lead to folding and damaged...

TEM sample preparation represents the most laborious and demanding process encountered by microscopists. Generating consistent and reliable TEM lamella used to require advanced DualBeam operators. AutoTEM 4 provides a unique, highly automated approach for lamella prep and lift out.
