Abstract
A newly-developed FIM/FEM Polisher and TEM holder have been used to successfully prepare and examine FIM specimens. These instruments incorporate many user-oriented features, the design aspects of which are discussed. An example illustrating the preparation and examination of an A533B steel specimen is presented.
