Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), silicon carbide (SiC), \ndiamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) abrasives are \noffered in various bond types for sectioning a wide variety \nof materials. Choosing the right blade for the right material \nis crucial in reducing thermal and structural deformation. \nProtective metal arbor inserts are molded into resin and \nrubber/resin blades. Blade arbor holes fit both 32 mm and \n1.25" spindle arbors. All blades are precision ground to \nslightly less than the stated diameter to universally fit all \nmakes and models of cutting machines. Blotters are \nsupplied to shield vibration from the metal flanges and \nhelp protect the blade from breaking during use.\nBond Information:\nResin Bond blades cut cooler with less friction and do not \nemit a burned rubber odor as with rubber bond blades.\nRubber Bond blades are thinner and ideal for production \nenvironments where durability and longer life are desired.\nRubber/Resin Bond blades offer both durability and \ncooler cutting characteristics.\nMetal Bond diamond blades provide longer blade life and \nmore durability than resin bond blades, for less critical \nsurface finish requirements.\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\nMaterial\t\nAbrasive\t\n Bond\t\n\t\n Unit\t\nItem\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n Rubber/Resin\t .062" (1.6)\t\n\t\n 80-50000\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\nResin\t\n.062"

The two-part formula is mixed \n10:1 and cures bubble-free in 5 minutes at 150 °C \n(302 °F). The curing temperature can also be reduced to \nprevent damage to heat sensitive samples. Once cured, \nit is chemically resistant to etchants and will not outgas \nunder vacuum.\nClear wax provides a quick and strong bond between \nsamples and fixtures for cutting and/or polishing. It melts \nat 49 °C (120 °F) and is soluble in acetone.\nSheet wax provides uniform distribution of wax to improve \nregistration accuracy of the sample to the fixture \n(i.e., dicing applications). It flows at 100 °C (212 °F) and is \nsoluble in sheet wax dissolver.\nMount Storage Cabinet\nThe cabinet provides storage for polished mounts to \nprevent corrosion and dust contamination. The 10 \ncloth-lined drawers absorb moisture and hold mount \ndividers for easy organization. The locking door provides \na sealed environment. Rechargeable desiccant canister \nis included. Dividers are sold separately.\nM-Bond 610 is excellent for adhering multiple samples \nfor TEM dimpling and bonding of post-polished samples \nto grids for TEM and FIB observation. It is chemically \nresistant and provides a very thin glue line that ion mills \nevenly.\nLocTite® 460™ is a thin, fast-curing glue used as an \nalternative to wax for adhering samples to Pyrex® for \nTEM/FIB thinning and other applications, and is soluble \nin acetone.\nItem Description\nItem Description\n\n\nPage 23\nGrinding / Polishing\n23\nMetPrep 4™ Systems\n(Pages 24-26) \nMultiPrep™ Systems\n(Pages 30-31)\nDualPrep 3™ Systems\n(Pages 24-26)\nTwinPrep 5™\n(Page 32)\nMetPrep 3™ Systems\n(Pages 24-26)\nM-Prep™ Machines\n(Page 32)\nAD-5™ Fluid \nDispenser\n(Page 36)\nNew!\n\n\nPage 24\n24\nGrinding / Polishing\n(800) 675-1118 (USA & Canada) (310) 635-2466 (Worldwide) \nThe MetPrep™ and DualPrep™ grinding and \npolishing machines, with the PH™ line of power \nheads, are powerful systems for semiautomatic \noperation, ideal for low to high volume sample \npreparation requirements.

A rigid Z-indexing \nspindle maintains the predefined geometric orientation throughout \nthe grinding/polishing process. Digital indicators enable \nquantifiable material removal, which can be monitored real-time, \nor preset for unattended operation. Variable speed rotation and \noscillation maximize use of the entire grinding/polishing disc and \nminimize artifacts. Adjustable load control expands its capability \nto handle a range of small/delicate to large samples.\nA wide variety of fixtures and accessories are available for either 8" or 12" platen systems.

Although diamond is more costly \nper unit, the amount required to polish is substantially less by a greater factor than the difference in price. Diamond also \ncuts faster, requiring less time to achieve an improved surface finish and produce an accurate representation of the true\nmicrostructure with fewer artifacts (smearing, scratches, etc.). All products are precision graded by Swiss micronizing \nstandards for high performance.\nDiamond Polishing\nPolycrystalline Diamond \nWith many more cutting surfaces per particle, \npolycrystalline diamond provides higher removal rates \nthan monocrystalline abrasive. As it cuts, it breaks down \nin its original shape, allowing for finer finishes in less \ntime. Because polycrystalline has no cleavage planes, it \ncannot splinter like monocrystalline diamond. It causes \nless subsurface deformation, and is excellent when \npolishing samples composed of different materials or \nhardness.\nMonocrystalline Diamond \nMonocrystalline diamond provides a cost-effective means \nfor good stock removal and finish. It has a slightly irregular \nshape with multiple cutting edges, and is recommended \nfor general applications where polycrystalline’s features \nare not required.\nAllied diamond suspensions are specifically formulated to ensure that the diamond particles remain suspended and \nseparated throughout the stable liquid carrier.

Carl Zeiss is driving this process with solutions that \nare continually setting new standards. A major component is ZEN core, the preferred image analysis software for the \nmicroscopist. With its unique modular architecture, it is equally suited for both newcomers and advanced users. \nIt features seamless integration between camera and microscope for all imaging and analysis needs.\nWhy Consider ZEN core?\nIntegration with Zeiss Microscope and Camera – \nWith each objective change, the magnification is captured \nand scalings are applied automatically (encoded \nmicroscopes). All data such as magnification, camera \nexposure and bit depth are tagged on snapped images.\nFunctionality – Zeiss gives users complete control over \nthe system (camera, software and microscope) without \nusing third party components, drivers, etc. Because Zeiss \ndesigns and manufactures all the components, they are \ndesigned to work together, seamlessly.\nSupport – Allied has image analysis experts to answer \nIA questions. Between Zeiss and Allied, users have access \nto two organizations for maximum support.\nVersatility – A workflow can be designed to implement \ntasks easily and repeatedly. For advanced users, \ntoolbars and macros can be customized to fit their needs.\nImage Formats – ZEN core supports importing and \nexporting of most standard file formats. Its proprietary ZVI \nfile retains image properties: calibration, brightness, \ncontrast, gamma, user definable comments, keywords, \ndate and more.\nPanoramic image tiling allows \nsimple capturing and stitching \nof multiple images to make \none large common image.\nZ-Stack/Extended Focus acquires and \ncombines images from multiple focal \nplanes to create a single sharp image.\nFeatures:\n Measurement of lines, angles, arcs, circles, area, \nperimeter and more\n Annotations/Text\n Contrast and filtering adjustment\n Full camera control\n\t\n\t ● Exposure\n\t\n\t ● White balance\n\t\n\t ● Shade correction\n\t\n\t ● Histogram\n\t\n\t ● Image orientation\n Customizable workflows, toolbars and buttons\n Custom report generation, formattable with MS Word®\n Available in 32/64-bit for Windows 7®\nImaging Workstations\nAllied offers a wide range of computer systems, \ncameras, camera adapters, printers and \naccessories to help build a complete imaging \nworkstation optimized for your specific application.\n\n\nPage 75\n75\nMillingImaging / Analysis\nwww.alliedhightech.com\nAdd-on modules expand the capability of ZEN core.\nGrains\nMultiphase\n Routine sample analysis of \nparticle size, phase content, \nporosity\n\tUp to 32 phases: B/W or color \n\tPercent area, volume fraction \nand classifications\n\tPearlite/ferrite content of steel\nPCB Layers\n\tAutomatic measurement of PCB \nlayers: copper thickness, \ndielectric thickness, raw values \nand average thickness values\n Single image or batch processing \nof multiple images\nTopography\n Generation of isometric 3D images\n EN ISO 4287 roughness \n\t\nmeasurements\n Height map creation from Z data\n Stereogram viewing using anaglyph \nglasses\nNMI\n Nonmetallic inclusions in steel: \noxides, sulphides and nitrides\n ASTM, ISO, DIN, EN and JIS \nstandards\n Worst Field and oversized \nparticle measurement\nCoating Thickness\n Automatic measurement of \n\t\ncoating thickness: raw thickness \nvalues, average thickness and \n\t\nstatistics\n Single image or batch processing \nof multiple images\n Three measurement methods: \n\t\n-\tAutomatic (reconstruct)\n\t\n-\tInteractive (intercept counting, \nwith 6 different chord patterns)\n\t\n-\tComparison (overlays)\n ASTM (I-IV), SEP, BS, DIN and \nEN standards\n “Wall Chart” comparative method\nImage Analysis / Add-On Modules\nGraphite\n Graphite measurement in cast \niron \n ASTM, ISO, EN and SAE \n\t\nstandards\n\tThree measurement methods:\t\nSpherolite, Lamellar and \n\t\nVernicular\nAutoMeasure\n Wizard for guided generation of \nprograms\n Image processing, global/local \nsegmentation and thresholding\n Custom measurement creation\n Data export into CSV and XML \nformats\n Measurement of porosity, \nparticles, impurities and more\nOne-Click Reports!\n\n\nPage 76\n76\nImaging / Analysis\n(800) 675-1118 (USA & Canada) (310) 635-2466 (Worldwide) \nCamera Comparison Chart\nCameras for Quantitative Analysis\nCameras for Routine/Basic Analysis\n512\n506\n503\nAxiocam Camera\n305\nICc 1\n105 Color\nCCD II\nCCD II\nCCD II\nSensor Type\nCMOS\nCCD\nCMOS\n1"\n1"\n2/3"\nSensor Size\n2/3"\n1/2"\n2/5"\n1:1380\n1:2500\n1:2500\nDynamic Range\n1:4800\n1:280\n1:200\n250 μs to 60 s\n250 μs to 60 s\n250 μs to 60 s\nExposure Time\n100 μs to 4 s\n1 ms to 4 s\n100 μs to 2 s\n3x14-bit\n3x14-bit\n3x14-bit\nDigitization\n(Bit Depth)\n3x12-bit\n3x8-bit\n3x8-bit\n3x8-bit\n12 MP\n6 MP\n2.8 MP\nResolution\n5 MP\n1.4 MP\n5 MP\n4,250 x 2,838\n2,752 x 2,208\n1,936 x 1,460\n2,464 x 2,056\n1,392 x 1,040\n2,560 x 1,920\nUSB 3.0 / \nUSB 2.0\nUSB 3.0 / \nUSB 2.0\nUSB 3.0 / \nUSB 2.0\nData \nInterface\nUSB 3.0\nIEEE 1394b \n(FireWire 400)\nUSB 3.0 \nMicro/Standard\nYes\nYes\nYes\nPeltier Cooling\nTemp Stable \n@ 25° C\nNo\nNo\nThe Zeiss line of Axiocam digital cameras offers seamless integration with ZEN core software, providing full control \nover all camera functions including exposure, white balance, shade correction and image orientation.
