Electron Microscopy Sciences has introduced the EMS 300 series of large specimen sputter coaters for SEM preparation and thin-film applications.
The series features a multiple sputtering head design that ensures even coating deposition over a single large specimen or multiple small specimens.
The flexible system allows sputtering to be limited to a single source for more economical sputtering of smaller specimens.
The EMS 300 is available in three formats: the economical EMS300R T rotary-pumped version for noble-metals-only sputtering; the turbomolecular-pumped EMS300T T for coating both oxidising and non-oxidising metals onto large specimens; and the EMS300T D dual-head system, which allows independent sequential sputtering of two metals without the need to break vacuum, making it suitable for many thin-film applications.
For smaller samples, the EMS150 series coater is a compact coating system suited for SEM and other coating applications.
The EMS150 is available in rotary and turbo-pumped versions for sputter coater of non-oxidising metals; carbon-fibre coater suitable for SEM applications; and a combined sputter coater and carbon evaporator.
In addition to SEM/TEM carbon coaters and sputter coaters, Electron Microscopy Sciences sells the complete Polaron and Emitech product lines, including plasma ashers, critical point dryers and cryo-preparation products for electron microscope specimen preparation.
