The AutoProbe™ 300, Omniprobe offers the fast Short-Cut™ method where the tip with the TEM lamella needs to be inserted in the Short-Cut™ Coupon. The half grid with swaged needle and lamella is then cut from the coupon and can be inserted in the TEM holder for further examination. The thickness of the Short-Cut™ Coupons is 200µm and can be used in suitable TEM holders. The Short-Cut™ Coupons are optimized for the ports used on the SEM/FIB System; 45° is used for FEI Systems, 26.5° is used for ZEISS and JEOL Systems. Short-Cut™ Coupons are either made of solid Cu or Cu coated with 1µm of Molybdenum to reduce the Cu signature in analytical applications.
