Abstract

An improved, jet electropolishing technique for the production of germanium TEM specimens has been developed. The use of slightly modified, commercially available equipment permits rapid, reliable thinning of foils exhibiting large electron transparent regions. The use of automatic termination of polishing produces cleaner foil surfaces than incremental final polishing did previously.
