Today we're looking at an ion milling machine. This instrument accelerates argon particles to high velocities and then slam them into your sample, acting as an atomic sandblaster. The sample is slowly ...

What is Focused Ion Beam Milling? Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a nanofabrication technique that uses a focused beam of ions to precisely mill, etch, or deposit materials at the nanoscale. It ...
