- Build-in thickness control accuracy at 1 micron level
- Required thickness is set before grinding
- Sample is operated non-manually
- Grinding stops automatically at set thickness
- Same thickness at large production series
- No pollution of ‘grid’ in your samples
- No relief of the final TS, no matter differences in hardness
- No differences in thickness, no matter differences in hardness
- Thin section of sizes up to 40mm×80mm
- Some focus on your microscope, as the surface is 100% plane
- Initial setting takes a total of 5-10 minutes
Access to equipment:
- Equipment is available at the Department of Geology, Aškerčeva 12, Room P6. Equipment rental or independent work is not possible because it needs a qualified technician (a three days training of the headquarters of PELCON, Denmark and at least one year of expertise in TS preparation).
