ESL MicroMill2 Micro-Sampling Device

 

MicroMill2 is a microsampling device designed for high resolution milling to recover sample powder for chemical and isotopic analysis. The combination of submicron stage resolution and positional accuracy, real-time video observation and a custom designed software system allows for sampling of complex accretionary structures in skeletal and crystalline materials. MicroMill2 has built upon the successful design of the original MicroMill and now includes the revolutionary ActiveView2 control software for improved workflow, high-precision stages and 5MP digital camera technology to bring you closer to your samples.

Description

Features

  • High-resolution 5MP USB3 digital microscope with 6.7X to 60X digital zoom, and 12 mm to 42 µm field of view of sample.
  • Simultaneous live view of sample and drill tip without mechanical movement.
  • 50mm travel in X, Y and Z stages with nanometer step resolution (100mm XY stage option).
  • Open-stage architecture accommodates large samples.

Applications

  • Complex crystal growth zonation
  • Accretionary growth structure examination
  • Precise sampling of growth zones in speleothems
