From initial rough grinding with silicon carbide grinding papers to final fine polishing for EBSD, EMiL provides all the necessary tools for thorough sample preparation. Samples can be embedded in epoxy resin to ensure stability and ease of handling during sectioning and polishing. Researchers can achieve intermediate polishing with diamond paste or aluminum oxide powder, and finalize their samples with vibration polishing using alumina or colloidal silica solutions for the highest quality finish. Additionally, EMiL offers sputter coating services, allowing samples to be coated with gold or carbon to improve conductivity and imaging quality.

The Pace Technology GIGA-0900 is a 9-inch metallographic vibratory polisher designed for preparing difficult-to-polish materials with gentle action. It is particularly effective for electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) sample preparation. The device operates by setting a frequency to initiate vibration and adjusting the voltage to control the rotational speed.
