Struers TenuPol-5 Jet polishing system

Struers TenuPol-5

TenuPol-5 is an automatic electrolytic thinning unit for specimens for transmission electron microscopy

With TenuPol-5, a perforated specimen for transmission electron microscopy can be made from a sample of 3 or 2.3 mm dia. in just a few minutes. The specimen is polished from both sides simultaneously, thus providing a structure with a minimum of deformation. When the perforation appears, the polishing can automatically bestopped by the infrared detector system, and the specimen is ready for theTEM examination. Also electrolytical pre-thinning or blanking can easily be carried out.

Functions:

• Scan function:Determination of correct polishing voltage through built-in scan function
• Built-in database: With 18 Struers and up to 200 user methods
• Automatic shut-off: Thinning process stopped automatically through infra-red light when hole appears
• Pre-thinning: Large samples can be pre-thinned electrolytically to avoid mechanical deformation
• Simultaneous thinning: Thinning from both sides to avoid damaged structures
