Used GATAN 600 CTMP #161317 for sale

GATAN 600 CTMP is an ion milling equipment designed for sample preparation for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This system utilizes a charge neutralizing beam of ions (low energy argon ions) to trim and shape a materials surface. This can be used prior to imaging so that the sample is prepared correctly for optimal electron beam imaging. 600 CTMP ion milling unit has a pressure range of between 0.1 torr and 1 mbar, and utilizes surface area of up to 12 cm2, with a mass range of up to 20 kg. The machine also has a voltage window with a range of -15V to 15V, which can be used to modulate the process parameters. The high pressure level reduces the effect of arcing and provides sufficient electrical insulation between the sample and the ion beam. The tool features an active collision mode, with a limit of between 5° and 60° to ensure the asset is focused correctly and prevents the ion beam saturation. This also ensures the optimal voltage for milling and can be adjusted depending on the application. GATAN 600 CTMP also allows for a secondary distance control, with a range of up to 5mm from the sample surface. This can be used to determine the distance from which the ion beam will ionize the surface and the angle of projected ions which will increase milling capacity and resolution. The model utilizes a fully integrated automated equipment to ensure safe, reliable operation and superior sample preparation. This system monitors for sample adherence, ion beam current, sample temperature, and surface material covering. The unit also has a host of other features such as a digitalized process parameters history, real-time data display, and profile overlay illustrations to ensure optimal performance. 600 CTMP is a powerful and reliable ion milling machine that can be used in sample preparation for electron microscopy. Its integrated tool, customizable options, and active collision mode provide users with excellent clarity and sample preparation with minimal effort.
