The Electron Microscopy Sciences 150R ES Sputter Coater is a compact turbomolecular-pumped coating system suitable for SEM, TEM and many thin-film applications. This combined system is capable of performing both metal sputtering (usually gold) and carbon coating in one single compartment. The deposition inserts can be swapped in seconds and the intelligent system logic automatically recognizes which insert is in place and displays the appropriate operating settings.
