Handheld mini-drill and disc saw
Mainly used for dry mechanical cleaning of sample surfaces and subsampling in mm-scale a handheld drill and saw device provides mg-range powder quantities and clean fragments.
Computer controlled micro-mill
A binocular based, computer controlled micro-mill installed in a H14-filtering clean-air laminar flow box is used for powder sampling in sub-mg quantities at µm-scale resolution from embedded or mechanically mounted samples from sub-mm to 20 cm width (e.g. embedded fragments, laminated archives, coral drill cores).
