Rapid sample preparation for EBSD-analysis: Enabled by the LaserFIB
25 Feb 2021State-of-the-art preparation methods are mechanical polishing with a vibration-polish finish for large areas or focused ion beam (FIB) polishing for smaller areas and sensitive materials.
In this application note, ZEISS demonstrate how to overcome the limitations of these methods by utilizing the new femtosecond laser for ZEISS Crossbeam, to rapidly prepare cross-sections in sheets of different metals and EBSD is performed on the laser-polished surfaces.

Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
