Design of automated electro-polishing apparatus for electron microscopy specimens preparation
Čermák, Jan ; Szabari, Mikuláš (referee) ; Mikmeková, Šárka (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the automation of the electropolishing process, which is per-former as the last step in the preparation of metallographic samples intended for observation in an electron microscope. A complete hardware design of a single-purpose machine has been developed, which provides the automatic preperation of up to six samples per insertion. There was the design of a manipulator for sample handling together with chemically re-sistant sample holder suitable for automatic operation as a part of solution. The design of the whole machine was developed with regard to the safety of the operator. The thesis includes detailed 3D model of the device and the desing of an application for measurement in the LabVIEW. It describes the future working process of the machine, including a description of a software for controlling the machine and sending process data of each sample to the to the database in accordance with the principles of industry 4.0. In the conclusion, the achieved results and the proposal of further steps necessary for the realization of the machine are for-mulated.

Tungsten wire surface cleaning using electropolishing process
Jurčík, M.
This article deals with the preparation of tungsten wires surface for electrochemical etching process via electropolishing process. Cleaning of the wire surface is very important for obtaining field emission cold cathodes with sharp tips and low contamination on its surface which are made from these tungsten wires. There are many ways to clean wire surface such as heating it in a ultra vacuum, using solutions and acids, mechanical cleaning etc. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages and due to electropolishing process quickness this method was selected for futher usage.
