FIB Lift out shuttle

Kleindiek LOS Lift-out Shuttle is an innovative tool that provides a faster, more reproducible and simpler procedure for FIB lift-out. LOS is an intuitive and cost-effective specimen preparation solution that offers greater reliability than ex-situ lift-out techniques and higher throughput than other in-situ lift-out solutions. Combining an advanced microgripper with a precision substage for increased throughput, reduced FIB time and reliable results.

It can be retro fitted to most makes and models of FIB that lack this functionality

In-situ lift-out techniques have become reliable methods for preparing specimens for TEM and atom probe inspection.

  • The Lift-out Shuttle is compatible with the load-lock systems of most SEMs and FIBs.
  • When used with SEMGLU vacuum compatible glue, LOS eliminates the need for gas precursors and thus the Contamination of the sample associated with IBID techniques.
  • Combining LOS with the innovative iLO software control interface enables even easier and faster TEM sample preparation.
