Accessories for Preparation of Metallographic Mounted Specimens
Preparation of metallographic specimens using the MiniMet is done using the caged specimen holders or by drilling a hole into the back of mounted specimens and using the pin holder that comes with the unit. Use 2.875” [73mm]-diameter grinding paper and polishing cloths.
Accessories for Petrographic Thin-Section Preparation
To prepare 46x27mm petrographic samples, affix thin-sections to the holder using 20-8145 Crystalbond low-temperature wax. The 4.75” [121mm]-diameter bowl size is required for the thin-section holder. Use 2.875” [73mm] grinding paper and polishing cloths in this application.
Accessories for Thinning Unmounted Specimens for Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis
To use the precision thinning attachment, samples must fit onto a 0.5in [13mm] glass slide. The slide may be adhered to the thin-section attachment using a drop of oil or 20-8145 Crystalbond low-temperature wax. Use Diamond lapping films placed onto the 69-1567 55mm glass disc.
Accessories for Wafer Polishing
Use the Wafer Polishing Attachment to thin wafers up to 30mm diameter. Wafers are affixed to the polishing attachment using 40-8150 Crystalbond wax.
