The Model 515 Precision Dimpling Instrument is primarily used to pre-thin TEM specimens either prior to ion milling or prior to a quick etch on the Model 550D Single Vertical-Jet ElectroPolisher. The Model 515's precise, automatic operation has proven to be effective on virtually all materials and is invaluable in the preparation of delicate cross-sectional specimens. In addition to TEM pre-thinning, the Model 515 is also used to expose near-surface concentration gradients or to produce tapered sections through surface coatings. Its ability to drastically reduce ion milling times and its varied capabilities makes the SBT Precision Dimpling Instrument an indispensable addition to any materials characterization laboratory.
