Leica RES 101

MANUFACTURER Leica microsystems
MODEL RES 101

General description:

Ion beam preparation for thinning, cleaning and in-situ coating in one single system. This technique minimize the smearing generally associated with cross sectioning in soft material and for certain application can revealed sample microstructure.

Characteristics :

  • Sample up to 25 mm Ø
  • In-Situ coating of SEM and TEM sample with various target material

  • Source current : up to 3.5 mA (per ion source)
  • Ion current density: 10 mA/sq cm (per ion source)
  • Milling rate : Cu 40μm/h (8kV,3mA)per ion source at 15 deg angle
  • Si 25μm/h (8kV,3mA)per ion source at 30 deg angle
  • Gaz: Argon, minimal purity 99.999% (Ar 5.0)
  • Angle tilting: Gun 1 +/- 45 deg (0.1 deg setting accuracy)
  • Gun 2 +/- 45 deg (0.1 deg setting accuracy)
  • Sample holder tilting: -120 to 210 deg (0.1 deg setting accuracy)
  • Milling angle: 0 to 90 deg (dependent on the sample holder)
  • Sample holder movement: Rotation 0.6 to 10 rpm
  • Oscillation up to 360 deg, in 1 deg steps
