Instruments - Cressington 108C Auto Carbon Coater

Carbon Coater

The Cressington 108C Auto Carbon Coater is one of the most advanced sample coaters available for coating non-conductive specimens prior to SEM X-ray analysis. The unique feedback-controlled rod evaporation system gives multiple evaporations of around 20nm thickness without any need for rod shaping or adjustment. The high purity stepped carbon rods used in the 108C auto deliver a superior coating quality usable at high magnifications. The 108C is a compact system, simple to operate and has very rapid pumping cycle time. The addition of the MTM-10 High Resolution Thickness Monitor allows conducting carbon films to be tailored to the exact requirements of the sample.
