Used GATAN 600 #293627436 for sale

GATAN 600 is a multi-purpose ion milling equipment designed for precision surface preparation and analysis on samples of various materials. This system is useful for applications including electron microscopy, materials research, data storage media characterization, and nanotechnology. 600 is capable of performing etching, grinding and polishing operations via ion beam sputtering. It offers the flexibility to perform multiple etch operations to create desired effects on a single sample, or multiple samples can be processed simultaneously. The unit comes with a range of parameters that can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the task at hand. GATAN 600 consists of an ion-beam sputter gun and a rotating platen/sample holder. The sputter gun is equipped with a high precision ion source which produces argon ions to bombard the sample. The platen/sample holder is made of fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) with a high precision encoder, allowing for precise control over the sample's position. The platen/sample holder allows the sample to be rotated at high speeds and tilted to achieve the desired polishing quality. The machine is capable of high-precision control over the depth and rate of material removal and can achieve nanometer scale resolution. It can also be used to create thin films on substrate materials via ion beam sputter deposition. This can be useful for creating coatings to protect surfaces from wear and corrosion. 600 is equipped with a high-precision optical microscope to monitor the sample during the processing operation and a sophisticated computer control tool that allows for automated operation and logging of all the processing parameters. GATAN 600 is a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners in the fields of nanotechnology, electron microscopy, data storage media characterization, and materials research. This asset offers precise surface preparation, precise measurement, and superior control of process parameters.
