Holey Carbon Films on 200 Mesh Gold (Pack of 50)

Product Description

Holey carbon films have many uses in microscopy but for certain applications the mesh sizes of standard TEM grids are too large to support the sample. Continuous carbon films can also be a problem due to the fact that the thin film can inelastically scatter electrons and contribute to background noise. Holey carbon films therefore are a suitable alternative.
Holey carbon films have holes of various sizes up to 100m. In addition to providing support, the increased image contrast in the regions of the holes compared to regions of film is also of benefit. Typical applications include biological and materials science and cryo-TEM.

Supplied as 25 or 50 grids in a grid box.
Holey carbon support films can be applied to other grid sizes, material or type. Further details available on request.

Advanced Structure for Superior Imaging

The holey carbon film structure offers random perforations, increasing electron transparency and reducing background noise in TEM imaging. This intricate design is particularly suited to the detailed observation of nanoscale materials, biological specimens, or cryogenic samples, providing clear, high-contrast results for advanced research applications.


High Purity Gold Mesh for Stability

Each grid features a 99.99% pure gold mesh, supporting analytical and laboratory-grade performance. Gold provides an inert, stable substrate that resists corrosion and mechanical deformation, contributing to reliable sample preparation and long-term storage in demanding laboratory environments.


Ready-to-Use and Customizable

Supplied plasma-cleaned and packaged in an anti-static storage box, these grids minimize contamination and ensure immediate usability. An optional hydrophilic treatment is available upon request, catering to specific experimental protocols. Careful handling with anti-static tweezers is recommended to maintain film integrity.
