Needles
Included as standard with the EZ-Pick II is a set of electrically polished Tungsten Sampling Needles: 1" x 0.5 mm each, with point diametrs of 1, 2.5, and 5 microns to pick up/extract microparticles from your sample

Manual handling of micro samples is often too unsteady while use of joystick controlled micromanipulators can be complex and expensive. The EZ-Pick-tool is ideal for any application where demanding micromanipulation is needed and has a justifiable price even for minor applications.

4 Steps to effective Micromanipulation:

1. Special assembly to attach and fix the required sampling tool (needle, knife, diamond scrabbler,..) to the manipulator.

2. The entire tool is mounted directly on the objective of your microscope.

3. Tip of sampling tool and the sample specimen on the stage are aligned and brought into focus.

4. By using the X-Y-Z movement of the microscope stage the sample can be manipulated, cut, sectioned, etc. .

Features

X-Y-Z Translation Mechanical Stage for Stereo Microscopes

General Purpose Quality-Stage For Manual Control with a justifiable price.

Features

Benefits

• Accurate Translation of samples in x/y/z direction

X-Y Translation Mechanical Stage for Stereo Microscopes

General Purpose Quality-Stage For Manual Control with a justifiable price.

Features

Benefits

With this compression cell you can easily flatten and thin materials to an ideal thickness for transmission analysis

The sample is simply compressed between the diamond windows by turning thumb screws until the sample is thin enough for the beam of the spectrophotometer to penetrate.

The Diamond Cell simplifies sample preparation of samples, which are difficult to manage by other techniques: Excellent for analyzing hard materials such as minerals, rubbers, plastics, polymers and also pharmaceuticals. They can be compressed, crushed and flattened to a uniform thickness for IR measurements.

The total cell thickness of 9.5 mm provides smallest working distance for use with microscopes.

Features

Benefits

• Large clear aperture (1.6 mm or 2.0 mm)
• Universal use with FTIR-Spectrometers & FTIR –Microscopes
• Two type IIa single crystal synthetic diamonds
• Standard 2”x3” back plate fits all spectrometers
• To use without beam condenser

• Simplified sample preparation
• Multifunctional use with spectrometer and/or with IR-Microscope
• Minimal interfering absorption bands
• Maximum throughput to the detector without detection saturation
• Easy to assemble and clean

Diamond Windows

Standard materials such as KBr and BaF2 have long been used as windows for spectroscopic applications.
These materials, however, present a number of problems. For example, they can be easily scratched and are difficult to clean.

Diamond windows do not have these problems. They are extremely hard and therefore almost impossible to scratch or damage, and they are easily cleaned. This gives them an extremely long life.

The Diamond Windows are an ideal tool for your microscope measurements and cover wide spectral range from UV to FTIR.
