Dimpler®

Dimpler®Model D500I

The Model D500i Dimpler® has become an indispensable tool for TEM specimen preparation. The dimpling technique, applicable to a myriad of material types, yields a higher quality specimen with a broader, near electron transparent area which reduces ion milling times. The Model D500i automates the dimpling technique so that the most demanding specimens can be dimpled to < 10 microns routinely and repeatably. Real time measurement of tool height, specimen thickness, and tool runout allow the user to precisely control the dimpling process. With the proper tooling and parameter adjustment, the dimpling technique with the D500i can be completed with ease.
