Low Energy Surface Preparation with the Ilion II System

The Ilion II system is perfect for low-energy surface preparation for SEM cross-section viewing.

Features:

  • Quick workflows on beam-sensitive samples: Vacuum load-lock and liquid nitrogen cold stage for quick workflows on beam-sensitive samples
     
  • Real-time polishing method observation: such as an optical microscope with digital imaging; images can be stored and examined with Gatan’s DigitalMicrograph® software
     
  • Using 10" color touch screen interface: Reproducible outcomes from recipes and function of the IlionTM II through a 10" color touch screen interface
     
  • Damage-free surfaces: for analytical techniques like cathodoluminescence and EBSD, where the signal is produced close to the surface.
