The DESK II TSC's design is the most advanced in the industry. Lighted pushbuttons, arranged logically by function, provide sure, easily reproducible, operation. To monitor gas pressure and electrical current, the DESK II TSC uses reliable solid state electronic bar graphs instead of analog meters. This eliminates mechanical moving parts, increasing meter reliability. The DESK II TSC is manufactured in the United States by Denton Vacuum, a company with over 35 years of leadership in building laboratory vacuum equipment for the electron microscopy industry.
Reliability is assured, and spare parts are available for rapid delivery.
Manual shutter for use during presputtering of target or to protect target from contamination during etching. The Denton DESK ll TSC will give a uniform, conductive, fine-grained 100A coating in less than five minutes from pumpdown through venting. After a onetime setup of sputtering time and power and gas bleed rate, the DESK ll TSC can sputter in the automatic mode by pushing one button. The advanced design magnetron sputterhead in conjunction with the patented anode grid prevents excessive secondary electron bombardment of the specimen for truly cold sputtering. In the Etch Mode, the DESK ll TSC cleans specimens contaminated with molecular films of water or oil to provide a clean substrate for sputtered atoms to adhere to.
