IM4000 PLUS Ion Milling

The IM4000Plus broad Ar+ ion milling system (BIB) from Hitachi is suitable for cross-sectioning or polishing of hard, soft, porous, composite and heat sensitive materials and delivers perfect results.

Reliable High-Performance Milling

  • High current Ar+ beam allows quick and consistent cross-sectioning
  • Stable low kV (<1 kV) capability for sensitive materials
  • Suitable for final polishing, for example, for EBSD, utilizing low-angle milling (FlatMilling), or for contrasting by high-angle milling (relief milling) in just a few minutes

Easy Specimen Handling

  • Milling position can be readjusted at any time without remounting the specimen
  • Ex-situ alignment of mask and specimen makes setup fast and easy
  • Resin-embedded samples of up to 50 mm in diameter and 25 mm in height can be loaded for ultimate polishing

Simple Operation and Maintenance

  • Minimum and easy parameter settings for all types of applications or samples
  • Single ion beam gun allows easy setup and maintenance
  • Uniform, high-intensity ion beam throughout the complete voltage range, with separate acceleration voltages and ionization

Easy End-Point Detection

  • Real-time milling can be observed with the stereomicroscope

Extendibility

  • Cryo cooling can be added for heat sensitive materials
  • Vacuum transfer can be added for oxidation sensitive samples
