Abstract

A specimen-cooling device has been designed, manufactured and integrated into a commercial ion-milling instrument for transmission electron microscopy. The instrument enables us to prepare section specimens of tin-plated Cu without forming intermetallic compound particles and/or voids. The results show that cooling of specimen during ion-milling process is necessary for fine structure investigations of low melting temperature materials.
