Ion Beam Milling
Ion Beam Milling
Ion beam milling is a technique used to prepare sample surfaces for microscopy and analysis. It involves bombarding the surface with high-energy ions, in a vacuum chamber. The ions sputter away the surface atoms, creating a smooth and damage-free layer. Ion beam milling can reveal the internal structures of almost any material and is suitable for surface-sensitive techniques such as EDS, SEM, and AFM.
