Used FEI 825i #194572 for sale

FEI 825i is an Ion Milling equipment designed for precision and accuracy in sample preparation. It is an ideal tool for producing hard, scratch-resistant surfaces for a variety of sample materials. 825i's 10-axis stage, capable of up to 500nm positioning resolution and a 0.1nm repeatability, allows for precise sample location and uniform ion milling. FEI 825i's electrodes sprayed inert gas, such as Ar, He, and Ne, simultaneously to energize ions which then react with the sample's surface in a process known as ion milling. The ion milling process essentially removes an ultra-thin layer of material from the sample's surface, just down to the Burleigh critical angle. The precision of 825i allows the user to accurately determine the depth of the ion milling and the amount of material to be removed. Additionally, FEI 825i can be adjusted to include a cold getter, a vacuum-activated process which removes oxygen and other atmospheric contaminants from the specimen chamber. 825i is capable to mill a variety of materials including metals, semiconductor substrates, conducting polymers, polyimide, and Si-Ge alloy. FEI 825i gives the user the ability to adjust the gas flow, voltage, and pulse period to accommodate different samples and to optimize the ion milling process. Further, 825i has two internal ion sources with options for a versatile range of sputter substrates. FEI 825i's built-in computer system makes data storage and programing for each sample extremely efficient. The unit has two monitor screens for easy operation and comes with specialized ion milling software. Further, a remote control allows the user to control the machine from up to 15 feet away. 825i is a reliable, safe and powerful tool for precise ion milling. With its 10-axis stage, adjustable gas flow, voltage, and pulse, and two internal ion sources with a variety of sputter substrates, FEI 825i provides a great variety of uses. From cold gettering and highly precise ion milling to sample preparation for materials like metals, semiconductor substrates, and polyimide, 825i can handle all these tasks efficiently and phenomenally.
