The South Bay Technology Precision Lapping and Polishing Fixtures are designed to accurately produce polished parallel, tapered or critically oriented samples with minimal sub-surface damage. A series of specialized fixtures has been developed for lapping and polishing samples from 6 in. to 8 in. in diameter. TEM samples and oriented crystals. In addition to size and shape, the fixtures differ in the type of thickness control techniques they employ. The lapping and polishing fixtures are designed to be used either by hand or with a lapping machine.
