Our NanoSoft FIB Autogrid Ring provides a significant increase in the area of your grid accessible for milling with the ion beam, relative to the TFS FIB ring. Instead of a small cut out notch on the back, flat side of the ring to allow for ion beam access for shallow-angled milling, which blocks access to a large portion of the valuable grid, our FIB Autogrid Ring has an angled face around the entire circumference on the \"backside\", providing this incredible increase in accessible area, allowing you to reclaim valuable sample\/cells on your grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, whereas many people have resorted to manually marking the TFS FIB ring with a marker, due to the poor visibility of their markings used to orient the ring, our NanoSoft FIB Autogrid Ring has marks with excellent contrast, making correct orientation by eye incredibly easy. Additionally, our NanoSoft FIB Autogrid Ring has matching marks on the \"top face\", so you can see the orientation of the ring when clipping a grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur FIB Autogrid Rings are manufactured with the same cutting-edge manufacturing techniques as our \"regular\" Autogrid Rings, resulting in similar top-quality, incredibly reliable and consistent parts. Furthermore, we use the same quality and inspection processes, including that every FIB ring gets checked individually by eye by our experts before being shipped to customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3 major differences you'll notice about our rings:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e significantly higher contrast, darker marks on both the bottom and top faces of our FIB ring (the double spot pattern at 12 o'clock is mirrored on the top and bottom), making orientation much easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAngled Face\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e: instead of having one \"notch\" area that is cut out of the bottom, flat surface at an angle for shallow angled FIB milling, the entire bottom face of our FIB ring is angled. Functionally, FIB milling remains the same, but there is better beam access to the grid, resulting in a larger area of the grid available for milling - less \"lost\" area on the grid and more precious cells able to be imaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Notch on Inner Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e: this is used in our production process.
