Leica EM ACE200

The system provides reproducible homogenous carbon coatings for electron microscopy as well as the option for glow discharging of EM grids to make them hydrophilic. 

Types of samples: Samples on aluminium stub, coverslips and coverglasses 

Applications:

  • Carbon coating for TEM, SEM, and membranes on the grids (formvar, pioloform, parlodion)
  • Glow discharge of surfaces to make them negatively charged and hydrophilic 

Main components:

  • High vacuum chamber
  • Rotation stage suitable for up to 18 aluminium stubs
  • Quartz crystal measuring precise thickness
  • Carbon thread wire
