The GIGA-S is designed to prepare even the most difficult to polish materials with a very gentle polishing action. It is especially useful for EBSD polishing sample preparation (electron backscatter diffraction). Polishing is accomplished by setting the default frequency so that the sample begins to vibrate and then changing the voltage in order to adjust the rotational speed (cat no. GIGA-S). (Part No. GIGA-S).
Recommended Consumables: CMP (Chemcial Mechanical Polishing) is recommended for polishing with the GIGA-S vibratory polisher.
The most common CMP polishing slurries contain colloidal silica; however, we have found that the addition of polycrystalline alumina makes an even more effective polishing slurry which enhances polishing rates and significatnlty reduces the polishing relief associated with colloidal silica polishing.
