Twin-Jet Electropolisher: Fischione Model 110

Electrolytic thinning of conductive materials is an effective method of quickly producing specimens for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) without any induced artifacts. In the Model 110 Twin-Jet Electropolisher, twin jets simultaneously polish both sides of the sample, creating electron transparent specimens within a few minutes. The electropolisher features easily adjustable electrolyte flow, polishing voltage, termination detection sensitivity, and jet and specimen holder positions.

Power supply

Low Temperature Twin-Jet Polisher

Applications

Phase identification in high strength steels
Characterization of nano-precipitates
Grain and dislocation structure characterization
