Sample preparation
Mounting
The aim of mounting is to handle small or odd shaped specimens and to protect fragile materials, thin layers or coating during preparation as well as to provide good edge retention. Mounting produces specimens with uniform size so that it is easier to handle in automatic holders for further preparation steps.
The fastest, most practical and most used method of sample mounting.
Suitable method for fragile and heat-sensitive samples.
Resin for hot and cold mounting, colored and transparent, chemically resistant and electrically conductive.
