    SC208 carbon coater

    SC208 Carbon evaporation coater

    The 208C High Vacuum Turbo Carbon Coater from Cressington offers high quality carbon coating techniques for TEM, STEM, SEM, EDS/WDS, EBSD and microprobe applications. The practical chamber size of 150mm diameter allows for rapid pump down and coating cycle times of around 10 minutes (4e-5 mbar). The use of ultra purity carbon rods in a high vacuum chamber gives the high quality coating needed for critical TEM, EBSD, high resolution SEM and microprobe work.
