Microscopy and Metallography Sample Preparation Equipment

About Microscopy and Metallography Sample Preparation Equipment

Microscopy sample preparation equipment and metallography sample preparation equipment is used for the preparation of samples for metallographic or microscopic inspection and analysis. Microscopy and metallography sample preparation equipment includes abrasive saws for producing thin slices of samples, grinding and polishing machinery, and a variety of coating and etching devices for preparing samples for electron microscopy.

Microscopy sample preparation equipment and metallography sample preparation equipment is used to prepare samples for viewing using light or electron microscopes. Microscopy and metallography sample preparation equipment includes sectioning saws and wire saws to prepare clean, smooth surfaces for viewing and analysis. A sectioning saw is designed to cut many types of materials without deforming the basic structure of the sample. A wire saw cuts sample material by using a diamond impregnated wire blade or a plain wire blade in conjunction with an abrasive. Cut-off machines are also used to prepare metallographic specimens, by cutting very small sections. The small pieces are then prepared for the microscope by securing them on special mounts using a mounting press. Mounting presses secure the sample on a setting die and may also coat it with platinum for use in an electron microscope.
