UniMillThe UniMill model of Technoorg ion mills has been designed for extremely rapid preparation of high-quality TEM/XTEM samples with unsurpassed high thinning rate. The design of the instrument enables both rapid milling with the ultra-high-energy noble gas ion source and final polishing and cleaning with the patented low-energy ion gun.

“Dual function ”The wide energy range of the ion sources allows an extremely high milling rate and gentle cleaning function with the same instrument. |
Easy to use and automated operationThe UniMill is provided with full computer control utilizing an easy-to-use graphical interface. All milling parameters can be stored or pre-programmed in an arbitrary number of steps. This fully automated feature of the UniMill allows to produce high-quality samples with minimum user intervention. |
Sample coolingTo cover all possible needs UniMill offers two different cooling options: The Liquid Nitrogen cooling reduces excessive sample heating during the ion bombardment. Thus, heat-sensitive materials can be prepared without destabilization of internal structures. Peltier cooling is a comfortable protection against overheating and to keep the sample at room temperature. |
Fast and motorized sample exchangeThe load-lock and the motorized sample holder driving system provide fast and easy sample exchange with the least possible user interaction. The load-lock protects the vacuum level in the working chamber to save significant time and energy for heavy users. |
Online monitoring and supportThe UniMill is supplied with a software extension for online technical support, which enables instant error detection and program elimination via the Internet. |
