Model Mini Plane -Sampling Knife

Easily shave off surfaces into thin samples for microanalysis. Proper sample preparation tools are a requirement for any microscopy lab. This is especially true for those performing FT-IR analysis where the sample must be between 5 and 20 microns in order to provide the desired transmission. The Mini-Plane enables you to shave off the surface of a material such as a polymer and cut a controlled and consistent sized slice of uniform thickness, optimized for measurement.
