PECS II

Model 685

The PECS™ (precision etching coating system) II is a table top broad beam argon milling tool for polishing as well as coating samples. These two processes can be performed on the same sample without interruption of the vacuum.

Benefits

  • WhisperLok system: Load and unload samples without venting the main chamber
  • Low energy focusing penning ion guns: Mill damagesensitive surfaces, including EBSD or CL, using low energy focusing penning ion guns
  • Variable energy from 0.1 – 8.0 keV: Tunable low energy milling to reduce amorphous layer and higher energy to increase milling speed
  • Liquid nitrogen specimen cooling: Eliminates artifacts, including oxidation and migration of gallium
  • 10-inch color touchscreen control: Fast, simple access to all control parameters; no computer required
  • Digital zoom microscope: Real-time operation during milling
  • Color image storage in DigitalMicrograph software: Store and use optical images for correlation with other analysis systems
  • Sputter deposition: Sputter a target material onto the sample surface to protect or minimize charging in an SEM/FIB
