Description
Features
- Sub-micron sample motion control
- High-precision milling
- Sample height detection and tilt correction by a drill-tip sensor, contour-following function
- Sample map navigation increases sample-area field of view
- 50mm of computer-driven sample movement on X, Y and Z axes
- Data/image file recoordination, including save, recall and export
Applications
- Complex crystal growth zonation: Subsampling provides high-resolution elemental isotopic chemistries and intra-zonal variations of the crystal structure
- Accretionary growth structure examination: Subsampling within annual growth banding of molluscan shells allows reconstructing seasonal variations present during the life of an organism, such as a clam
- Precise sampling of growth zones in speleothems: determine seasonal changes by precise sampling in complex growth zone profiles
- Sampling from otoliths and bone: evaluate elemental and isotopic composition of bonelike materials through precise milling
