TEM Wedge Polisher

The TEM Wedge Tool is used to thin materials to electron transparency for TEM observation. The rear micrometer heads allow radial or axial (wedge) angle adjustments in the sample. Non-rotating micrometer heads are available to eliminate faceting of Delrin® feet.

The cross-sectioning and Pyrex paddles attach using a cam-locking system (no tools needed), allowing quick, easy removal for sample inspection and exact repositioning throughout the polishing procedure. The small Pyrex footprint reduces planarization time due to less surface area making contact with the abrasive.
