LD500i - D500i Dimpler
The Model LD500i Dimpler has become an indispensable tool for TEM specimen preparation. The dimpling technique, applicable to a myriad of material types, yields a higher quality specimen with a broader, near electron transparent area which reduces ion milling times. The Model LD500i automates the dimpling technique so that the most demanding specimens can be dimpled to < 10 microns routinely and repeatably. Real time measurement of tool height, specimen thickness, and tool runout allow the user to precisely control the dimpling process. With the proper tooling and parameter adjustment, the dimpling technique with the LD500i can be completed with ease.

EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction) Polishing and Storage Kit
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.
