Element Pi Thin Film Coating Products Distribution acquired by SRL Innovations
The Thin Film Coating Systems business of Element Pi has been acquired by SRL Innovations (www.srl-innovations.com) to facilitate the retirement of Element Pi's owner, Mike Toalson. Element Pi previously sold the COXEM product line distribution to JH Technologies (www.jhtechnologies.com) of Fremont, California in 2022. SRL Innovations, owned by Mr. [...]
Resin Mounted Sample Preparation
In order to acquire the best analytical results for microstructure, metrology, micro-hardness or micro-elemental analysis; specimens are often mounted in a resin "puck" and polished to a mirror finish. The resin mount is often precision sectioned to expose critical areas of interest that lie within the specimen. [...]
What We Do
We offer a variety of vacuum coating systems for Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopes to more advanced systems utilized for preparing materials science specimens in research areas such as Photonics, Energy, Semiconductors and many other scientific fields.
So why Pi in our company name you might be wondering? Pi is the most recognized mathematical constant and often considered the most intriguing and important number in all of mathematics. So in the spirit of Pi, we offer products that will continue to intrigue you as new developments are reached and our goal is to make our products become an important asset to your research and microscopy effort. However, while Pi is an irrational number like its cousins “e” and “√2” that like to go on forever, we will offer nothing but rational explanations and advice when it comes to selecting the best product solution. Through your use of our products, we promise that “Pi” will come to mean “Precision Imaging” that you can count on.
We would treasure your comments about how we could make our website better with more useful information to assist with your search for Microscopy solutions. Take a minute and enjoy the Pi FACTS we have collected and presented on our Company – About Us page.
