Key Features
- Glass-made micro-pipette/ micro-sampling tool/ micro-press tool
- Pipettes with inner diameters of 5μm/10μm/20μm can be used for sample suction and transfer using a vacuum absorption tool set or for solvent absorption/releasing using a micro-injector, ensuring secure sampling of challenging fibrous or spherical foreign substances
- Micro-sampling tools are used to lift out FIB-processed thin films. The success rate of lift-out is greatly improved by attaching the "high-precision rotator"
- Absorb and release pico-liter liquid
- Micro-press tools are innovative: able to press collected samples to thin layers while providing visual confirmation. It enables the reduction of thick samples to an analytically suitable thickness when used with Axis Pro series
- Handles tiny particle
Application Information
- Quantitative absorption/release of small liquid volumes (using a micro-injector).
- Lift-out and transfer of thin films processed by FIB (using a high-precision rotator).
- Pickup of minute samples (using a vacuum absorption tool set).
- Thin layering of collected samples (approximately 1-50μm in size) using micro-press tools.
