MicroPol is a compact, electronically controlled, precise mechanical specimen grinder/polisher designed for planar grinding, dimpling, thinning and polishing of specimens in the fields of nanotechnology, semiconductors and materials science. The parameters of polishing (speed, load, time, etc.) can be matched according to the properties of the specimen. High quality samples are prepared with minimal effects by the operator.
MicroPol polishes by the action of an arm moving the specimen in a random geometric pattern, pressing it to the bottom of a bowl containing suitable abrasive material. The abrasive material can be grinding paper, or suspension of polishing compound deposited on polishing cloth.
The arm of the MicroPol™ moves the specimen holder or the specimen itself in a semi-random geometric pattern gently pressing it to the bottom of a bowl containing suitable abrasive material. The abrasive material can be grinding paper or suspensions of polishing compound deposited on polishing cloth.
