EM TIC 3X Fresa per taglio inclinato a fascio ionico
Ottenere sezioni trasversali di elevata qualità di quasi ogni materiale, rivelare le strutture interne del campione praticamente senza deformazioni o danni non è mai stato così comodo grazie al dispositivo Leica EM TIC 3X.
La fresa a triplo fascio ionico, Leica EM TIC 3X consente la produzione di sezioni trasversali di materiali duri/morbidi, porosi, sensibili al calore, fragili ed eterogenei per la microscopia elettronica a scansione (SEM), l'analisi microstrutturale (EDS, WDS, Auger, EBSD) e l'esame AFM.
Tre fasci ionici (controllati singolarmente), il tavolino di raffreddamento e il tavolino per campioni multipli garantiscono la fresatura alle più elevate velocità, un taglio ampio e profondo nel campione, con conseguenti sezioni trasversali di elevata qualità.
Reproducible results by Ion Milling
The Triple Ion Beam Milling System, EM TIC 3X allows production of cross sections and planar surfaces for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Microstructure Analysis (EDS, WDS, Auger, EBSD) and, AFM investigations.
With the EM TIC 3X you achieve high quality surfaces of almost any material at room temperature or cryo, revealing the internal structures of the sample in a near native state as possible.
As convenient as never before!
Efficiency
What really counts regarding the efficiency of an ion beam miller is excellent quality results with high throughput. It’s not enough that we could increase the milling rate by a factor of 2 compared to the previous version but the unique triple ion beam system optimizes the preparation quality and reduces working time.
Up to three samples can be processed in one session. Cross sectioning and polishing can be performed by one stage.
Workflow solutions provide safe and efficient transfer of samples to subsequent preparation instruments or analysis systems.
Flexible system – Adaptable to your needs at any time
The flexible choice of stages makes the EM TIC 3X a perfect instrument not only for high through-put but also for contract laboratories. Depending on your needs the EM TIC 3X can be configured individually using interchangeable stages:
- Standard stage
- Multiple sample stage
- Rotary stage
- Cooling stage or
- Vacuum Cryo Transfer Docking Station
for applications of standard preparation, high throughput processing, as well as the preparation of extremely heat sensitive samples such as polymers, rubbers or biological materials at low temperatures.
Environmentally controlled Workflow Solution
The VCT docking port in combination with the EM TIC 3X offers the perfect workflow for surfacing environmentally sensitive and/or cryogenic samples which can be
- biological,
- geological or
- industrial material.
They can be subsequently transferred to our coating systems EM ACE600 or EM ACE900 and/or SEM systems under inert gas/vacuum/cryo conditions.
Standard Workflow Solution - Create synergies with the EM TXP
Prior to use of the EM TIC 3X, mechanical preparation is often required to get as close as possible to the area of interest. The EM TXP is a unique target surfacing system developed for cutting and polishing samples prior to follow-on techniques with instruments such as the EM TIC 3X.
The EM TXP is specially designed to pre-prepare samples by sawing, milling, grinding, and polishing. It excels with challenging specimens where pinpointing and preparing difficult targets becomes easy.
