High vacuum coating system for electron microscopy Leica Microsystems EM ACE 600 (LEICACOAT-NANO)

High vacuum coater for deposition of conductive coatings on SEM and TEM samples. Processes are driven by bulit-in microprocessor control unit and are fully automatized. Process steps and parameters are set through a touch screen. Equipped with Au sputter target and carbon thread evaporation source as standard.
Other available targets for the sputtering are: Cr, W, Co, Ti, Al, Pt/Pd.
