TEM ion mill model IV5

The technoorg ion mill model IV5 is the entry level instrument for the basic cleaning and polishing of TEM samples. The milling parameters such as the angle of beam incidence,the speed and the oscillation angle of inplane sample motion have to be set manualy.

LOW-ENERGY ION SOURCE (ONE FIXED TYPE)

  • variable, continuously adjustable ion energy (100–2000 eV)
  • variable, continuously adjustable ion current (7–90 μA)

VACUUM SYSTEM

  • original Pfeiffer computer-controlled vacuum system with oil-free membrane and turbomolecular pumps, equipped with compact full-range vacuum gauge (combined Pirani and Penning heads)
  • vacuum load-lock system

SPECIMEN ADJUSTMENT

  • electronically adjustable milling angle from 0° to 45° (in 0.1° increments)
  • computer-controlled specimen rotation and oscillation from 0° to 120° (in 10° increments)
  • remarkable thickness range of accepted TEM samples (30–200 μm)

COMPUTER CONTROL

  • built-in personal computer
  • easy-to-use graphical interface
  • highly automated operating regime for minimal user intervention
  • milling and polishing cycles can be pre-programmed or manually set
  • all important parameters can be easily changed by mouse clicking
  • on-line service for error detection and problem elimination
  • CCD camera image for real-time visual control (up to 400× magnification)
