Introduction to Cross-Section Processing and Observation Methods

Mechanical grinding allows for a wide range of processing and observation! We will propose appropriate processing and observation methods or combinations.

We will introduce sample processing using mechanical polishing and mechanical polishing combined with ion milling treatment. Mechanical polishing is a well-established and historically long-standing method for producing cross-sections, allowing for a wide range of cross-sectional fabrication. Additionally, by combining it with ion milling treatment, it is possible to create observation surfaces comparable to those produced by CP processing. At Aites, we propose appropriate processing and observation methods or combinations based on our accumulated know-how. Please feel free to contact us for consultations or inquiries. 【Features】 ■ Mechanical polishing allows for extensive processing and observation. ■ By repeating mechanical polishing and imaging, three-dimensional observation is possible. ■ Observation at any desired location can be performed based on the constructed 3D image. ■ After mechanical polishing, depending on the sample, observation comparable to that of CP processed samples may be possible. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
