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.

Superior Support for High-Resolution TEM

These holey carbon films provide optimal substrates for TEM specimen preparation. The ultra-thin carbon layer, supported on a high-purity copper mesh, offers excellent electron transparency while maintaining structural reliability for detailed imaging. This combination delivers exceptional performance for researchers working in materials science, nanotechnology, and biological microscopy.


Engineered for Cleanliness & Conductivity

Each grid undergoes thorough pre-cleaning to ensure suitability for transmission electron microscopy. The synergy between copper and amorphous carbon contributes to high conductivity, reducing charging effects and image artifacts. The robust design ensures compatibility with high vacuum conditions and superior reliability during sensitive analytical procedures.


Effortless Handling and Extended Stability

The grids are individually manufactured to meet standard microscopy specifications and feature an ultra-thin film strong enough for routine laboratory use. With proper handling and storagein a dust-free, dry, and clean environmentthey maintain indefinite usability and performance consistency, making them a dependable asset for microscopy professionals.

FAQs of Holey Carbon Films on 400 Mesh Copper Grids (Pack of 50):


Q: How should I handle Holey Carbon Films on 400 Mesh Copper Grids to prevent damage?

A: Always use fine-tipped tweezers to handle the grids and avoid touching the carbon film surface, as it is ultra-thin and sensitive. Mishandling can lead to contamination or tearing, which may compromise imaging quality and data integrity during TEM analysis.

Q: What benefits does a holey carbon film on a copper grid offer for electron microscopy?

A: Holey carbon films provide a highly electron-transparent substrate with defined circular holes that enable detailed imaging of specimens while minimizing background noise. The pure copper mesh ensures high electrical conductivity and robust mechanical support, ideal for high-resolution TEM studies.

Q: When is it necessary to use these grids as support films in the TEM process?

A: Use these grids whenever your samples require support for electron microscopy, especially for high-resolution or low-contrast imaging. They are essential when the specimen needs minimal background interference and a stable substrate, such as in cryo-TEM or nano-materials research.

Q: What is the proper way to store these grids for maximum shelf life?

A: Store the grids in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment, ideally in their original packaging. This prevents contamination, oxidation, and physical damage, ensuring the grids maintain indefinite shelf life and remain ready for use in microscopy applications.

Q: Where are Holey Carbon Films on Copper Grids commonly used?

A: These grids are commonly utilized in research laboratories, universities, and microscopy facilities engaged in life sciences, materials science, and nanotechnology. They are particularly popular in the United Kingdom and internationally among suppliers, manufacturers, and researchers requiring high-purity electron microscopy substrates.

Q: What process is used to ensure cleanliness before TEM application?

A: The grids are pre-cleaned using laboratory-standard procedures that remove organic and particulate contaminants, making them immediately suitable for TEM specimen mounting without additional cleaning, and reducing preparative steps for the user.

Q: What safety and chemical considerations should I keep in mind?

A: These grids are classified as non-hazardous, non-poisonous, and odorless. They are insoluble in water and typical organic solvents and contain high-purity amorphous carbon and copper (CAS: 7440-44-0 and 7440-50-8). Always store and handle with standard laboratory precautions to maintain their integrity.
