This grinder is excellent for processing difficult materials and hard/soft combinations.
EXAKT has perfected a surface grinder that maintains plane-parallel grinding with a user-determined shutoff capability. Sample thicknesses in the range of 20 µm can be achieved easily. Accurate to within ± 1.5 microns, the system uses abrasive papers and films to prepare the required surface.
Electronic control of the grinding process ensures constant precise results down to an accuracy of µm. After completion of the grinding process, the thin sections are dyed with processes such as Toluidine blue, Masson-Goldner, Van Gieson or Giemsa.
The final grinding pattern differs substantially in quality and informative value from samples that are cut in a conventional manner.
