Description

Leica EM TIC3X provides the largest cross-section area to offer the highest analyses yield. Unique features are the highest speed and largest uniform area for flat milling (ion beam polishing) technique to achieve reliable results fast. In addition, the device will ensure a fast workflow by using the synergy with the Leica EM TXP (mechanical preparation device), so the preparation time of the finished sample is minimized.
