Choice of Colour
RepliSet-F or -T (black) should be used for microscopic
examination by optical microscope with refl ected light.
RepliSet-G (grey) should be used for macroscopic examination
with oblique illumination.
All replicas are suitable for 3D examination by SEM and non-
contact metrology methods such as interferometry, laser scanning
and shadowgraph projection.
Application of Compound
• Turn the nozzle-end to point downwards and keep it touching,
or as close to, the surface as possible to avoid trapping air in the
replica and to force the material into surface features.
• Weave the nozzle end from side to side if a wider bead is
required; each weave should overlap the previous one.
• At vertical surfaces, start applying the beads from the bottom.
• When fi lling holes, introduce nozzle in the hole and fi ll from the
bottom. Lengthen nozzle with a nozzle tip or a piece of tube, if
required.
Note: For correct results do not exceed the recommended
working time (see cartridge).
Removing the Cured Replica
• Allow the RepliSet compound to cure, then carefully peel off the
cured replica from one side.
Note: For correct results do not go under the recommended
curing time (see cartridge). Checking the drop remaining on the
nozzle will give an indication of the time required.
Replicas of Micro structures
• A good quality deep etching is important.
• Backing paper should always be used.
• Replicas should be made as thin and as fl at as possible and
should be mounted on glass slides using double-sided adhesive
tape.
