Sputter coating is the standard method for preparing non-conducting or poorly conducting specimens for observation in a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
We offer low-cost, rotary-pumped systems for depositing non-oxidising metals - such as gold, platinum - and also turbomolecular-pumped models, suitable for oxidising and non-oxidising metals - such as chromium.
Large chamber models are available for specimens up to 200mm/8” diameter, and all sputter coaters can be fitted with carbon evaporation attachments.
For thin-film applications, the K575XD Dual-head Turbo Sputter Coater allows consecutive metal layers to be deposited, without the need to break vacuum.
The new Q150T is suitable for SEM, TEM and many thin film applications. It is available in three formats - as a sputter coater, carbon coater or both - and replaces previous models K575X and K950X.
