Need advice to cut cross section of porous film on FTO for SEM. Sample came off when cut with glass cutter, no sample seen at edge of cut FTO. Help?

01 January 2018 0 10K Report

Cross section cut of porous sample /FTO scratch off sample from the edge of the FTO making it hard to check in SEM. Need help to cut it so the film stays on the edge of the cut.
