The IP-10K is COXEM’s advanced Ion Beam Polisher, engineered for high-precision SEM and TEM sample preparation. It delivers unparalleled capabilities for precision milling of materials at the microscale, creating exceptionally clean, damage-free surfaces ideal for high-resolution imaging and analysis.

Key Applications

• High-quality TEM & SEM sample preparation, producing ultra-thin, artifact-free lamellae for transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution imaging.

• Precise surface thinning for advanced materials, ideal for nanomaterials, ceramics, and semiconductor device cross sections.

• Ion beam polishing of complex geometries, ensuring smooth surfaces for accurate microstructural and crystallographic analysis.

• Final polishing after mechanical prep, removing deformation layers without heat damage—critical for accurate EBSD and EDS results.

• Polishing of multi-phase materials, enabling clear contrast between phases for research and quality control in metallurgy and composites.
