BiPod Polisher™

The Model 595 BiPod Polisher™ is a variation of the well known Tripod Polisher®. The BiPod Polisher™ is designed with flats on all sides which make it more suitable for viewing under a standard upright stereo microscope and also simplifies adapting the polisher for semiautomatic SEM cross sectioning. The BiPod Polisher™ is used in the same way as the Tripod Polisher® with the exception of it having only 2 feet and those feet being controlled by precision machined screws instead of micrometers. The BiPod Polisher™ can also be mounted easily onto either the Model 910 or Model 920 Lapping and Polishing machine with the appropriate yoke for semiautomatic polishing. The BiPod Polisher™ uses the same sample mounts as the Tripod Polisher® and the polishing procedure is essentially the same. The BiPod Polisher™ is capable of being used for both SEM cross sectioning and TEM Wedge polishing.
