For better TEM results.

The Gatan Disc Grinder is a TEM sample preparation system for pre-thinning and polishing. Save time on ion milling and improve sample quality by preparing your TEM samples with the Disc Grinder.
For better TEM results.
With low pressure polishing.
Prepare parallel sided samples quickly and easily.
With 5 µm accuracy.
The Disc Grinder produces parallel sided samples quickly and easily, with mechanical polishing. The large micrometer dial displays the thickness in microns (µm).
Produce parallel-sided discs 50 µm thick, up to 9mm diameter.
The quality of TEM specimens depends on the quality of the initial disc. Thinner, more uniform starting discs produce larger electron transparent areas. Common problems when trying to create thin discs are:
The Disc Grinder has been designed specifically to eliminate these problems:
