Each of the 60 square grids is identified using a base two binary numbering system. The six binary number symbols appear on the bottom grid bars along the horizontal axis. Zero is represented by a short pillar and one by a longer pillar.
The second image is an enlarged view of grid square #9 - a long pillar at the extreme right represents decimal 1 and a long pillar fourth from the right represents a decimal 8. Learn More
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. Learn More
The most commonly used bracket. It has a slot through the front to accommodate the Pyrex inserts for wedge polishing, the SEM stub mount, as well as the L59002 Wedge Polishing Mount. Learn More
Designed specifically for doing the first side polishing of TEM specimens. However, the plain L bracket can be used for polishing SEM cross sections if additional mounting prior to microscope viewing is to be done. Learn More
Used with L03090 or L03067 and clamps the small pyrex rods into the L590. The clamp is anodized aluminum and squeezes against the pyrex rod, holding it in place. Included at no charge with the purchase of the BiPod Polisher. Learn More
