Micro Sample Prep Tool

EZ-Diamond Micro Plane attaches directly to the objective of a microscope. Its class IIa diamond blade is used to shave or plane micro thin layers off the surface of a sample. The planed-off surface can then be removed and further analyzed. In addition, once the surface is planed-off, the underlying layer is exposed and can be analyzed. The Micro Plane can be used with optical microscopes (including infrared, Raman and fluorescence). Various models are available which can accommodate objective diameters from 18 mm to 90 mm. Since the tool is attached directly to the objective, the top of the diamond blade and the sample are easily kept simultaneously in focus. The tool is also available with other sampling handling attachments such as a needle probe and micro knife.
