Buy Tripod Polishers Online at Ladd Research
The Tripod Polisher was designed by researchers at the IBM East Fishkill Laboratory to accurately prepare TEM and SEM samples of pre-specified, micron-sized regions. For TEM Samples, this technique has been used successfully to limit ion milling times to less than 15 minutes and, in some cases, has eliminated the need for ion milling. Although this technique was designed for preparing semiconductor cross-sections, it has been used to prepare both plan-view and cross-section samples from such diverse materials as ceramics, composites, metals and geological samples.

L03063 - Polisher Accessory - SEM Stub Mount ( 4 each )
$67.50
The SEM stub mount is designed specifically for mounting specimens for SEM polishing. It fits directly into the stage of most standard SEM stages and eliminates the need for remounting the specimen prior to SEM observation. Included at no charge with the purchase of the BiPod Polisher. Learn More
Tripod Polisher Accessory - Slotted L Bracket - L03090 - L03090
$190.00
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
L03094 - Tripod Polisher Accessory - Plain L Bracket
$115.00
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
L03067 - Tripod Polisher Accessory - Screw Clamp L Bracket
$135.00
This bracket has a set screw on each side of the bracket which is designed to hold an SEM mount in place. Learn More
L03077 - Polisher Accessory - Wedge Polishing Clamp
