Product Description

These thin cast films of Formvar have been strengthened with the addition of a layer of evaporated carbon on copper grids. The composite films have extra resilience and strength compared with carbon films. They are recommended for use where the grid has to undergo several processing steps during specimen preparation.

Supplied either in packs of 25 or 50 grids in a grid box depending on each particular product.

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



High-Quality Support for Electron Microscopy

These Formvar/Carbon films on copper grids offer consistent support and image clarity for transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Researchers benefit from their robust construction, minimal pinholes, and low background, making them ideal for precise imaging of ultra-thin specimens. Their high chemical purity and uniformity meet the requirements of analytical and clinical laboratories.


Optimized Handling and Longevity

Packed in anti-static, dust-free storage containers, these grids maintain their surface integrity and functional lifespan for a minimum of two years under proper storage. The combination of Formvar and carbon ensures both mechanical stability and electrical conductivity during microscopy. Handle only with anti-static tweezers to prevent film rupture, thus maximizing grid usability.


Versatile Application Across Research Fields

Supporting a range of microscopy sample preparations, these grids are indispensable for imaging biological tissues, polymers, and advanced materials. Their high compatibility with industry-standard TEM and SEM instruments allows straightforward integration into most laboratory workflows for both routine and advanced research.

FAQs of Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Copper Grids (Pack of 50):


Q: How should Formvar/Carbon Films on F1 Copper Grids be handled to avoid damage?

A: Always use anti-static tweezers when handling these grids to prevent static discharge or physical damage. Avoid touching the film directly and handle in a clean, dust-free environment to minimize the risk of film rupture or contamination.

Q: What makes these grids suitable for electron microscopy applications?

A: These grids provide a uniform, low-background support film with minimal pinholes, ensuring clear imaging and reliable specimen support. The combination of Formvar and a thin carbon layer enhances specimen stability and electrical conductivity, which are vital for transmission and scanning electron microscopy.

Q: When is it recommended to use these Formvar/Carbon films over other support films?

A: These grids are ideal when preparing ultra-thin sections for TEM or SEM that require both mechanical stability and minimal background interference, such as in high-resolution imaging of biological or polymer samples.

Q: Where should the grids be stored to maximize shelf life and performance?

A: Store the grids in their original anti-static, dust-free storage box within a cool, dry environment. Proper storage helps maintain surface quality and functional integrity for at least two years.

Q: What is the process for preparing a microscopy sample using these grids?

A: First, mount the specimen gently on the film using compatible solvents or adhesives if needed. Allow the sample to dry, taking care not to stress the film. Once prepared, the grid can be inserted directly into the TEM or SEM for imaging.

Q: What are the key benefits of using Formvar/Carbon films on pure copper grids?

A: Users benefit from excellent specimen support, uniformity, low background noise, and high electrical conductivity. These attributes ensure reliable imaging results and support a wide range of sample types, from biological tissues to synthetic materials.
