The instrument allows the preparation of high-quality planar cross sections from di\ufb03cult samples that do not lend themselves to mechanical polishing or focused ion beam milling. The Ilion can perform masked broad ion beam milling, also known as \u201cslope cutting.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:18px\"><span style=\",sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#333333\">This low-energy surface preparation technique utilizes a large (one millimeter) ion beam to strip away an extensive, finely polished area for subsequent microscopy and microanalysis. A solid, sputter- resistant shield blocks half of the ion beam, e\ufb00ectively masking the lower half of the beam and creating a lateral sputtering plane that strips away a thin layer of the sample surface. The resulting surface is very flat and usually free of artifacts. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:18px\"><span style=\",sans-serif\">The Ilion II is a fast and user-friendly broad argon beam tool for cross-sectioning advanced packages or SEM specimen preparation.
