Model 515 Precision Dimpling Instrument

The Model 515 Precision dimpling Instrument is mainly 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 off delicate cross-sectional specimens. 

The Model 515 is also used to expose near-surface coatings. Its ability to drastically reduce ion milling times and its varied capabilities make the Precision Dimpling Instrument an indispensable addition to any materials laboratory.
