NUANCE is hosting a workshop on the Hitachi IM4000 ion mill, a versatile sample preparation tool that uses an argon ion beam to gently mill, polish, and clean sample surfaces.
The workshop will begin with a morning technical talk covering ion milling principles, applications, and best practices. In the afternoon, participants will have the opportunity for hands-on consultations and live demonstrations with Hitachi specialists, focused on cross-sectional preparation or final surface polishing for EBSD across a range of materials.
