About this item
For TEM and Metallography - Model MC2
The MicroPol™ Polisher is a compact, versatile, electrically controlled, precise mechanical specimen grinder/polisher designed for planar grinding, thinning and polishing of specimen 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 can be prepared with minimal effort by the operator.
- Rugged, corrosion proof construction
- MicroPol PartsVariable speed control for precision polishing
- Quick change bayonet mount bowls
- Timer for automatic operation
- Extremely light load for fragile TEM Samples
Micropol™ polisher is a compact, versatile, electrically controlled, precise mechanical specimen grinder/polisher designed for planar grinding, dimpling, thinning and polishing of specimens in the fields of nanotechnology, semiconductors and material 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 efforts by the operator.
Operation:
The arm of the MicroPol™ moves the specimen holder or the specimen itself in a semi-random geometric pattern gently pressing it to the bottom of a bowl containing suitable abrasive material. The abrasive material can be grinding paper or suspensions of polishing compound deposited on polishing cloth.
Consumables Necessary for Operation of MicroPol™ Polisher:
Abrasive papers (in about 300-800 grit sizes),
Polishing cloth (e.g. PELLON type),
Abrasive diamond paste or abrasive suspensions (diamond, Al2O3, SiC) in grain sizes of 1 and 10 mm for polishing,
Transparent thermoplastic wax solidifying below 135°C for fixing the specimen to the steel stub of specimen holder (e.g. mounting wax, dental wax, or similar).
Accessories Shipped with Equipment:
MC-PBC Polishing Bowl "C" -Flat plastic bowl: plastic disc coated with Cu foil on both sides. 4 pcs.
MC-PBE Polishing Bowl “E”- 4 Spherical bowls for dimpling
MC-LPC Loading piece -Locking of the bowl on the bayonet lock. Locking direction indicated by arrow.
Specimen Holder- Scale for positioning thickness. Cross-section showing the sample holder rod and the correct position of the sample
