The sputter coater Leica EM ACE600 is a high vacuum film deposition system that produces very thin, fine-grained and conductive metal and carbon coatings for highest resolution analysis, as required for FE-SEM and TEM applications. It can be configured for the following methods: Sputtering Pt or Au and Carbon thread evaporation. Coating thicknesses range from 2 nm to tens of nanometers.
