Electron Microscopy Sciences 2 mm Disc Die Set

Electron Microscopy Sciences The wire saw offers the most gentle mechanical method for cutting virtually any material using either a diamond impregnated wire blade or a plain wire blade with an abrasive slurry. In addition to traditional mechanical cutting, the saw can also be used as a string saw to cut water soluble crystals. It is most useful for cutting fragile crystals, substrates with delicate layers or any material that would be damaged when using a diamond wheel saw. Very brittle materials will cut the fastest, but even soft materials can be cut since there is not the problem of loading the blade that is inherent with diamond or abrasive wheels. The wire saw has sample holders available to hold virtually any shape sample including a goniometer to simplify the cutting of oriented crystals. - EMS
