 Low Vacuum Coater Leica EM ACE200

More Details

  • Technical Specification:

Producing homogenous and conductive metal or carbon coatings for SEM and TEM analysis was never before more convenient than with the Leica EM ACE200 coating system.

Configured as a sputter coater or carbon thread evaporation coater, perfectly reproducible results can be achieved in the fully automated system. If both methods are required for your analysis Leica Microsystems offers a combined instrument with interchangeable heads in one instrument.

Various options as Quartz Crystal Measurement, Planetary Rotation, Glow Discharge and Exchangeable Shielding complete this Low Vacuum Coater.

Implen NanoPhotometer N60

The balanced break method of the Leica EM KMR3 ensures perfect glass knives in three thicknesses 6,4 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm.

Ease of Use

The Leica EM KMR3 is easy to use and the automatic reset of breaking wheel and the scoring mechanism to "default" after a breaking cycle avoids handling errors.

Leica EM AFS2

More Details

  • Technical Specification:

 

The Leica EM AFS2 performs freeze substitution and progressive lowering of temperature (PLT) techniques and allows low temperature embedding and polymerization of resins.

 

The Leica EM FSP (freeze substitution processor), an automatic reagent handling system combined with the Leica EM AFS2, dispenses reagents for both freeze substitution and PLT applications. The LED illumination from within the chamber and the attached stereomicroscope for viewing and positioning of samples ensures ease of use.
