Abstract
The disclosure provides a method for preparing a cross-section of a sample by milling with a focused ion beam. The cross-section is to be prepared at a pre-defined position. The method includes excavating a trench by milling in a first milling direction. The first milling direction leads away from the position of the cross-section to be prepared. The method also includes excavating the cross-section by enlarging the trench by milling in the reversed milling direction. The second milling direction leads towards the position of the cross-section to be prepared, whereupon the milling is completed at the position where the cross-section is to be cut. The desired largest milling depth is achieved at the completion of this milling step.
