Ultrathin Carbon & Lacey Films for TEM

Our Ultra-Thin Carbon films on a Lacey Carbon support (see C269/C/UT) were developed to provide a high quality robust and uniform continuous film ideal for Cryo-TEM and nanoparticle characterisation (Nanotubes, virus particles and other small particulates). A thin layer of Carbon around 5nm thick, is applied on top of a Lacey Carbon film, supported by a 300 or 400 mesh grid. These films are currently available on either Copper or Gold grids in packs of 25. Stable under TEM operational conditions of 100 and 120 kV. Lacey Carbon support films (C269/C) provide a wide range of hole sizes and offer a cost effective solution where a continuous film is not desirable. Lacey Carbon supports are stronger than Holey carbon supports and ideal for specimens requiring more rigorous pre-treatments. We can modify hole sizes and thickness to user requirements.
