High resolution, non-contact removal rate module for serial sectioning
Abstract
The present invention relates to a metallographic system including a measurement module configured to provide precise differential measurements of a sample after serial sectioning, as well as methods of employing such a module. In particular example, the measurement module provides differential measurement(s) without contacting the surface of a sample, thereby minimizing contamination of the sample surface.
