– An apparatus is described which can be used for controlled sectioning and grinding of tooth specimens to be studied in the SEM. Each specimen can be sectioned and ground along several planes. During the procedures the specimen remains fixed to a stub which after the final processing can be inserted directly into the scanning electron microscope.
