There is an increased demand for preparation techniques tuned to manifold methods of microstructure diagnostics that need to be fast, reliable, cost effective, artifact-free, and targeted. Traditional mechanical preparation and focused-ion-beam micromachining currently dominate the field. Laser-based sample preparation represents a very valuable alternative approach and make new sample geometries possible. This whitepaper shows the advantages of this technology and how it can be used to prepare TEM lamellas.
