Equipment used for the preparation of physical specimens for subsequent microscopy or related disciplines - including failure analysis and Quality Control. Sample Preparation equipment includes the following types of machinery:

  • Precision Cross-sectioning Saws
  • Precision Lapping & Polishing Machines
  • Selected Area Preparation Systems
  • Decapsulation machinery (using mechanical, chemical/ 'jet etching' acid, laser and plasma methodologies)
  • Focused Ion Beam (FIB) systems
  • Anti-reflective coating systems
  • Dimpling Equipment

Each of these system types incorpoates a wealth of accessories and consumable items which fit the particular system for a specific application.
