With samples mounted into brass blanks in our own modern factory; diamond polished to a ΒΌ micron finish and coated with carbon by our experienced team. Each block of standards has its own unique number allocated to it, and comes with a booklet containing a map for standard identification and certificates of analysis; each standard is tested with our own Analysis/SEM Equipment prior to shipping.
