It is a hot cell designed for work with irradiated samples, where especially metallographic cutouts for LOM and SEM are prepared (Cutting, Grinding, Polishing, Hot and cold pouring into conductive and non-conductive materials, sample cleaning).

Laboratory equipment:

• Slow speed metallographic gravity saw for cutting material up to Ø 38 or 30 x 40 mm size.
• Metallographic saw for cutting material up to Ø 70 or 50 x 165 mm size.
• Metallographic press for hot potting of samples Ø40 mm.
• Combined automatic metallographic grinding/polishing machine with 3 sample holders Ø40 mm with automatic dosing of polishing slurries.
• Ultrasonic cleaner for sample cleaning.
• Stereomicroscope Zeiss Stemi 508

Metallographic press for hot potting: Ø40 mm. It is a press with electro-hydraulic principle without the need of compressed air.
