Available on Copper and Nickel. This support film, with removable Formvar, provides a film of pure silicon monoxide which meets the most exacting high resolution and stability requirements. The Formvar is simply removed by dipping in chloroform. Available on Copper and Nickel. When the Formvar is removed, by dipping the grid in chloroform, a pure carbon film remains.
Carbon films have good electric conductivity and are highly transparent to electrons.
They are completely stable under the electron beam and ideal for high resolution electron microscopy. Available on Copper and Nickel. The Formvar surface of the film can be utilized during specimen preparation if the carbon surface is hydrophobic. This is the strongest and most versatile support film we produce. It is stable in the EM under all operating conditions and able to withstand considerable handling during specimen preparation.
