Desktop SEM/TEM Coater Systems

DSCT

Turbo Pumped Sputter
and Carbon Coater

Sample preparation using sputter coating is the recognised method for non-conductive and low conductive specimens or samples, this system is also suitable for optical coatings.
Element Pi  DSCT has been developed to exceed the requirements for SEM/TEM sample preparation.
The compact and easy to use sputter coater, with onboard Turbomolecular Pumping
Use supplied backing vacuum pump or your own, all controlled with the  processor controller.

Pulsed Carbon Fiber Evaporation

The small chamber of DSCT is able to perform pulsed carbon fiber evaporation. Short pulses provide more controlled deposition and significantly reduces the amount of debris associated with traditional carbon deposition.
 

Sample Stages

The DSCT can be equipped with different sample stage configurations depending on the user requirements. The sample stages are rotatable with adjustable height that can be changed easily. The rotary planetary sample stage is a good choice for uniform coating of porous specimens.
 

One of the benefits of our DSCT design is the rapid pump-down time making it a production tool in addition to a research instrument, for applications such as optical coatings.
Thin films are deposited in with fine gas flow control producing repeatable results when used in Automatic mode.
Carbon coating attachment
  • DSCT  has the facility to accommodate carbon coating attachment, ideal for SEM/TEM preparation, using a separate attachment keeping the Carbon coating away from the sputtering head avoiding and cross contamination issues.
  • Carbon Rod evaporation is also available on request
