Fully automated argon ion polishing system suitable for preparation of SEM samples to prepare damage free surfaces, cross sections and deposit coatings to protect or eliminate charging.

• Polish, etch or coat samples with a single pump down
• Etch at voltages as low as 100 V for rapid and damage free preparation of sample surfaces 
• Permit samples as large as 32 mm in diameter
• Transfer samples from the PECS™ II instrument to a SEM/FIB or glovebox without exposure to air (optional)
• Store and analyze image in DigitalMicrograph^® software from Gatan for digital optical imaging
• Display and control all PECS II parameters using integrated 10-inch color touch screen
