Details

The Q150V ES Plus is a turbomolecular pumped combined sputter coater and carbon evaporation system, optimised for high vacuum applications. Together with the use of a wide-range Penning/Pirani gauge, this enables the sputtering of oxidising metals with ultra-fine grain sizes, which are suitable for high resolution imaging. This also allows for ultra-fine coatings of carbon for use in TEM imaging. The deposition head inserts can be swapped in seconds. Metal evaporation/aperture cleaning option available. 

  • Ultra-high-resolution magnification SEM and FIB-SEM
  • Carbon coating for elemental analysis and carbon coating of TEM grids
