Product Description

Carbon films on nickel grids are thin and highly transparent to electrons, offering fine grain and low contrast that does not interfere with specimen structure.

Supplied as packs of 25 or 50 grids in a grid box.

Carbon support films can be applied to other grid sizes, material or type. Further details available on request.



Superior Support for High-Resolution TEM Imaging

Our carbon films on nickel grids provide unparalleled specimen support, with low background and high transparency tailored for transmission electron microscopy. The smooth carbon film uniformly coats the pure nickel mesh, minimizing image interference while maintaining specimen stability. This makes them ideal for both biological and material science applications, ensuring precise imaging results every time.


Research-Grade Materials and Manufacturing

Fabricated from electroformed 99.9% pure nickel and coated with 99.5% pure carbon, these pre-coated grids are manufactured according to stringent ASTM or equivalent standards. The precision control of thickness (2 nm) ensures uniform electron transparency across the grid, critical for reproducible and reliable TEM measurements required in advanced research.


Reliable Packaging and Long-Term Stability

Each grid is handled and packed in anti-static boxes or clean glass vials to prevent contamination or physical damage during transportation and storage. Resistant to solvents and possessing an indefinite shelf life under proper conditions, these grids remain ready-to-use whenever needed, providing confidence for routine or high-sensitivity TEM work.

FAQs of Carbon films on Nickel Grids:


Q: How are carbon films on nickel grids used in electron microscopy?

A: They are placed in the specimen holder of a transmission electron microscope (TEM) as a support for ultrathin biological or material samples. The films high transparency and low background facilitate detailed imaging of specimen structures.

Q: What benefits do these carbon-coated nickel grids offer over other support films?

A: They provide a smooth, continuous surface with minimal background interference, exceptional electrical conductivity due to the nickel substrate, and a highly uniform carbon layer, enabling optimal contrast and specimen stability during electron microscopy analysis.

Q: When should I consider using 200 mesh versus 400 mesh grids?

A: 200 mesh grids offer larger open areas for supporting larger specimens or maximizing field of view, while 400 mesh grids are suitable for smaller particles or when increased specimen support and finer imaging resolution are desired.

Q: Where should these grids be stored to maximize shelf life?

A: Store them in a dry environment, preferably in their original anti-static storage boxes or glass vials, to protect against physical damage and contamination. Under such conditions, the grids have an indefinite shelf life.

Q: What is the process for preparing these grids for TEM analysis?

A: These grids are supplied ready-to-use and do not require any pre-treatment. Simply remove from the packaging using clean, non-magnetic tweezers and load with your specimen for immediate analysis in TEM.

Q: Are the carbon films compatible with both organic and inorganic samples?

A: Yes, the high-purity carbon surface is chemically inert and compatible with a wide range of organic and inorganic specimens, making these grids versatile for a variety of research applications.

Q: What advantages does the nickel grid substrate provide?

A: Nickel grids deliver excellent electrical conductivity essential for reducing charging effects during TEM imaging and withstand high temperatures, while also offering robustness and flexibility for repeated handling.
