High purity graphite plates

Graphite plates are useful for larger specimen support or if the sample needs to be shielded
against X-ray or backscattered electron signals originating from the SEM stage. The surface
finish for the graphite plate is less fine as for the graphite planchets; the plates are cut from thicker plates to reduce thickness and weight. Made from high purity graphite material, they are available in sizes 50 x 50 x 1mm, 70 x 80 x 1.2mm, 100 x 50 x 2mm and 100 x 100 x2mm. For increased mechanical stability, the graphite plates can be mounted metal substrates. The graphite plates are sold in pkg/5.

EM-Tec ESD safe epoxy coated precision electronic Tweezers

The EM-Tec ESD safe epoxy coated anti-magnetic electronic tweezers are Swiss made, precision engineered high quality tweezers which offer enhanced operator comfort. They are made from a special, low carbon, high strength stainless steel with the grips coated with an ESD safe black polyester epoxy. The resistivity of the epoxy coating is 10E-5 to 10E-6 Ohm. The black epoxy coating results in an impact resistant surface with good elasticity and improves operator comfort. Good resistance to many diluted acids and alkalis.

Micro-Tec Ø4”/ 100mm <P100> silicon wafer

silicon wafer" width="60" height="50" align="right" />The Micro-Tec <P/100> silicon wafer substrates can be used for sample substrates, micro-fabrication, substrate for thin film research or biological substrates. Useful flat substrate for SEM imaging of particles due to the low background. For biological applications, Si has similar properties as glass and can be used to mount or grow cells. Can be easily cleaved or used as a whole wafer. The Micro-Tec Si wafers are packed in a wafer carrier trays for protection.
