# Platen Systems

Many different magnetic platen systems for sample preparation are available to facilitate the use of different grinding & polishing surfaces on Buehler's grinder-polishers. Specialized, high friction surface allows for fast application and removal of surfaces during the preparation process. The base of the platen system is an aluminum platen with an Apex S film. CarbiMet S and MicroCut S products are designed for use with this magnetic platen system. Versatile Magnetic Platen System: The magnetic system offers quick changing of surfaces with various surfaces to choose from. The base of the system is an aluminum platen with a magnet attached. Many diamond grinding discs and polishing cloths are available with a magnetic backing to affix directly to the magnetic platen. Magnetic carrier plates are also available for use with PSA-backed products. **Quick Change Apex S System:**
