Gatan Disc Punch

The disc punch rapidly cuts transmission electron microscope (TEM) discs from ductile and soft materials, while maintaining specimen quality. The precise construction of every unit guarantees sharp edges and easy disc removal even after long term use. The disc punch prepares specimen discs of 3 mm in diameter and material thicknesses ranging from 10 µm to above 100 µm for transmission electron microscopy.

Features:

• Unique piston-rim design prevents overall compression and the cutting forces from extending into center region of specimen
• Exact fit of cutting and support pistons guarantees a sharp cut edge and easy removal of the punched disc
• Strong metal base ensures rigid and long term use without loss of precision
• Easy to see and remove punched area/disc simplifies collection and allows fast, single motion multiple punching
