Struers Transpol-2 Mode D'emploi page 43

The entire process is automatic: after
completion of the polishing, Movipol-3
proceeds to the etching process. When
this is finished, the unit emits an audio
signal. In less than one minute a surface
is obtained which is ready for analysis,
either on-site or by means of replica for
laboratory examination.
Complete Freedom
Movipol-3 is equipped with recharge-
able batteries and supply transformer. In
other words, the apparatus is as suitable
for stationary laboratory work as it is for
field work, depending on the require-
ments.
PSM-2
Transcopy
PSM-2 and Transcopy constitute an indispensable tool
for non-destructive materialography.
Transcopy
With Transcopy, Replica foil, replicas can be taken
on the spot for subsequent examination in
the laboratory.
PSM-2 - Fast and easy microscopy
outside the laboratory
PSM-2 is a small, portable microscope
for use in the field. It is battery-powered
and provides magnifications of 100 x, 200
x and 400 x. PSM-2 comes in a shoulder
bag which also contains the batteries.
PSM-2 is particularly suitable for pre-
liminary examination of the prepared
surface. A replica is recommended if a
more detailed analysis is required. PSM-
2 is highly suitable for preliminary replica
examinations when used together with
Transpol-2 and Movipol-3.
Transcopy Replica Foil
Transcopy Replica Foil is used to make
a replica of any polished and etched
surface. It is especially used if on-site
analysis using a portable microscope is
not sufficient or if micrographs of the
prepared structure are required. Trans-
copy Replica Foil creates a permanent
replication of microstructures, cracks and
defects for future analysis and compari-
son in the laboratory.
Function
Transcopy Replica Foil consists of reflect-
ing plastic film with a self-adhesive back.
A replica is made by applying Transcopy
fluid to the film and pressing it firmly
onto the prepared and etched surface.
A slightly over etched structure results
in a higher contrast of the replica. After
4-5 minutes the foil is removed from the
surface. By removing the cover paper,
the replica can be adhered to a plain plate
and then examined under an optical mi-
croscope.
