IP-10K Ion Beam Polisher

COXEM IP-10K: argon ion beam cross-section and flat milling for SEM, EDS and EBSD, at 1,000 µm/h, with optional cooling and air protection.

Key features

Damage-free cross sections
Argon ion milling avoids the deformation, cracks and contamination of mechanical polishing.
Fast
1,000 µm/h milling (at 8 kV on a Si wafer).
Flat milling (option)
Large, uniformly polished surfaces for SEM and EBSD.
Peltier cooling (option)
Down to −25 °C for heat-sensitive samples.
Air protection (option)
Air-sensitive samples move from glove box to polisher and SEM without exposure.
Materials
Metals, ceramics and battery components.
