Who we are<\/h3>\n

Vince Carlino founded ibss Group, Inc. in 2002 in order to continue developing field-free ion beam (IBS) deposition systems for EM specimen preparation. The IBS system and the Dimpler\u2122, developed by VCR Group, set the standard for specimen deposition and preparation.<\/p>\n

We have achieved our mission to provide the fastest, safest, and most efficient plasma cleaner on the market. We continue to develop and maintain long term relationships with customers and operators of GV10x products by providing quick response times and thorough communications and support that exceed our customer’s expectations.<\/p>\n
