Holey Carbon Films on 400 Mesh Copper Grids (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.

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.
