The Micro Plane is a versatile tool that makes it easy to peel thin layers of polymers or other hard materials for analysis via transmission microscopy. Adjusting the blade depth can control the thickness of the peel, providing excellent reproducibility of sample thickness.
The Micro Plane is available in two configurations depending on the sample hardness. The carbide steel blade version is useful for planing thin sections from most polymers, tissue samples and coated materials. The single-crystal diamond blade version is ideal for cutting hard polymers, inorganic materials and coatings from metallic surfaces. The single-crystal diamond Micro Plane will produce the cleanest, most uniform thin films from most materials.
