How to use electropolishing on soft materials to eliminate the risk of surface deformation
Deformation free surfaces are crucial in the use of advanced analysis techniques in materials science. Electropolishing offers a very gentle sample preparation, within short time. This technique is especially sutable for metals susceptable to surface deformation under mechanical impact, for example soft metals.
How to carefully cut and grind fish ear stones for microscopic analysis
Analysis of the series of layers in otoliths or fish ear stones is a common technique in marine research. Materialographic preparation techniques are used to carefully cut and grind multiple samples ready for microscopic analysis. The process has focus on meeting the very specific requirements on plane parallelism and surface finish.
