The microPREP™ PRO system offers a number of fixtures and stages on which the sample or specimen can be mounted. Depending on the material, size and character of the specimen you aim to prepare, the right stage or fixture should be chosen. Also, which fixture or stage should be used, also depends on the consecutive steps in the sample preparation process that will follow the laser-based sample preparation process in the microPREP™ PRO.
The following list will give you a brief of overview on the intended application area of the available fixtures and stages. If you are unsure which one to choose our sales team will be happy to advise you. Just give them a shout.
