Abstract

A tripod polisher method that extends the use of the tool to the preparation of difficult particulate and fiber specimens, sufficiently thin to permit direct TEM examination with minimal or no ion milling, is detailed. The specimen is surrounded with Si in order to take advantage of the colour changes displayed by thin Si to assess the thickness of the specimen during preparation.
