Sample preparation involves gaining access to a feature of a sample for subsequent analysis. Doing so allows engineers and scientists to find a solution for damaged parts or better understand ...

As a surface-sensitive technique, the diffraction signal comes from the top few nanometers of the crystal lattice in EBSD. Hence, the top layer needs to be devoid of oxidation, contamination and ...

Prepare samples by coating, drying, etching, milling, polishing, and sectioning. The Leica CPD 030 Critical Point Dryer is a critical point drying device for biological and industrial samples. It uses ...

The in situ heating temperature, sputtering power and argon gas pressure are all parameters, which may impact the magnetic properties, microstructure and applicability of these materials for HAMR.

The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

In the single-beam FIB, such as our Hitachi FB-2000A FIB, some milling will occur during observation of the specimen. Surface features, such as thin films, can be milled away during this process. In ...

The initial steps in preparation of biological material for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are similar to specimen preparation for TEM. After dehydration into absolute ethanol, specimens are dried ...

The CCTS offers specialized support for the entire continuum of research specimen-associated needs. Working closely with the CRU, phase I clinic and other UAB Health System clinics, research specimens ...
