Electron Microscopy Sciences has introduced the EMS 150R, a compact rotary-pumped coating system suitable for SEM and other coating applications.
The modular EMS150R can be configured in three formats: a sputter coater suitable for the standard (tungsten) SEM specimen coating and sputtering of a range of non-oxidising (noble) metals, such as gold, platinum, silver and palladium; a carbon coater ideal for SEM EDS and WDS applications; or a combined sputter carbon coater system.
An optional glow discharge attachment for the modification of specimen surface properties, such as hydrophobic to hydrophilic conversion, is available for the carbon coating system.
The EMS150R has a simple colour touch screen, which allows inexperienced or occasional operators to rapidly enter and store their own process data, according to the company.
A three-year warranty is included.
