Removing the Oxide Layer from Magnesium Alloys to Allow Successful EBSD Data Collection
Te latest experiment brief from EDAX shows how the combined analytical power of EDAX and Gatan products can improve results. It highlights the Gatan PECS™ II broad beam ion mill’s ability to successfully remove the oxide layer that quickly forms on magnesium alloys without introducing additional mechanical strain. Te resulting
specimen produces high-quality electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) patterns, and the microstructure can be successfully analyzed with the EDAX Velocity™ Super EBSD Analysis System.

TESCAN and 3D-Micromac AG Collaborate to Increase the Efficiency of Failure Analysis Workflows
Te synergy between TESCAN and 3D-Micromac has created a solid base for significant time and cost savings in failure analysis (FA) workflows compared to standard approaches. Te current application reduces FA time in most cases by at least 50%, and in some applications even 95%. On average, 75% of the overall time is saved by using TESCAN’s industry-proven Plasma FIB-SEMs together with 3D-Micromac’s flexible laser systems microPREP™ PRO.

Temperature-Controlled Microscopy Enhances Research of Chemical Processes in Polar Ice
Researchers at the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) are using Linkam’s thermal analysis instrumentation for studies of crystallization properties and chemical reactions in polar ice, providing information on the changing polar ecosystem. KOPRI is a research organization
that uses problem-solving mechanisms to increase public awareness about the role of polar regions in climate change. Te laboratory uses Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy and confocal and FTIR microscopy,
in combination with Linkam temperature-control stages, to study samples at temperatures below their freezing point.
