The LEBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction) Specimen Polishing Kit is based on the Model L150 micrometer controlled lapping fixture. Two mounting blocks are included to hold a 1/8" diameter pin SEM mount for plan view preparation of a Tripod Polisher SEM mount for XSEM preparation. The stubs are secured into the block with a set screw prior to loading into the lapping fixture. The kit includes a SampleSaver FIB storage container and two tier locking rack, and pin adapters for holding the L150 mounts. A pre-tilt EBSD specimen stage is included with three height segments. The low profile mount fits most SEM load locks and can be stored in the Sample Saver without removal from the pre-tilt holder. Special Features A relatively simple and inexpensive method for mechanically polishing and mounting EBSD specimens on an SEM stub, allowing quick transfer without dismounting a prepared sample. Pre-Tilt EBSD specimen stage keeps sample at a fixed angle of 70o or the complementary angle of 20o in the chamber. The process utilizes conventional, easily available, precision abrasives and is compatible with other sample preparation equipment and consumables. The Model L150 Lapping Fixture can be utilized for other routine parallel and angled polishing processes without modification. Up to 1.25" diameter mounting blocks are available. A low force Model L150L lapping fixture is available as an option. Complete process recipes, consumable supplies, and other accessories are available and include hand lapping tray, lapping and polishing machines, hot plate/cooling tray and sample mounting devices.

The Tripod Polisher, L590TS, comes complete with sufficient accessories to prepare samples for both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The following accessories are included at no charge with the purchase of the L590TS. (prices are included if you wish to purchase additional accessories)

Base with 3 micrometer assemblies and case.

Designed to accept the special SEM stud used with the Tripod Polisher. The SEM stud is mounted in the Ion Mill Stage and sample is briefly ion milled to remove fine scratches, polishing debris and to give surface topography prior to SEM analysis.

Base with 3 micrometer assemblies and case.

This bracket has a set screw on each side of the bracket which is designed to hold an SEM mount in place.
