The Model 515 Precision Dimpling Instrument
is primarily used to pre-thin TEM specimens either prior to ion milling
or prior to a quick etch on the Model 550D Single Vertical-Jet ElectroPolisher.
The Model 515's precise, automatic operation has proven to be effective
on virtually all materials and is invaluable in the preparation of delicate
cross-sectional specimens. In addition to TEM pre-thinning, the Model 515
is also used to expose near-surface concentration gradients or to produce
tapered sections through surface coatings. Its ability to drastically reduce
ion milling times and its varied capabilities makes the SBT Precision Dimpling
Instrument an indispensable addition to any materials characterization laboratory.
