Mechanically prethins specimens for transmission electron microscopy. Produces uniform thickness specimens with parallel sides. Greatly reduces the time spent during the final preparation process of ion beam milling.

For transmission electron microscopy, the quality of the initial disk determines the quality of the final specimen. The disk can be mechanically ground using the Model 160 Specimen Grinder to a precisely controlled thickness. Use the Model 200 Dimpling Grinder for final thinning.

• Accurate and dependable
• Precisely controlled
• Specimens up to 18 mm diameter
• No additional force needed
• Large diameter provides excellent stability
• Platen transferable to the Model 200 Dimpling Grinder
