Sample Preparation Systems from Leica - The TXP and TIC 3X

Leica's Todd Perez shows us their TXP mechanical preparation system and the TIC 3X triple ion beam cutting system.

The TXP is a multifunctional instrument capable of cutting, grinding and polishing, elimination the need for several instruments. It can be operated in either manual or automated modes and is fully controllable.

The TIC 3X is a cross-sectional system for preparation of wide polished surfaces. Being a triple ion beam system, it is faster than single and double beam systems. It includes a microscope with up to 225X magnification and a decoupled pump to eliminate vibration. It can be used with either single, multi or cryo (featuring heating or cooling) stages.

Applications for the TXP and TIC 3X include semiconductors, food and metallography.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
