Holey Carbon Films on 400 Mesh Nickel (Pack of 25)

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 Sample Support for TEM

Our holey carbon film on nickel grids ensures optimal transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging by minimizing background and maximizing specimen visibility. The precise perforation aids in effective imaging of nanoparticles and delicate biological samples. The robust nickel mesh provides structural reliability and maintains the integrity of the thin carbon film under regular usage.


Strict Quality and Compatibility Standards

Manufactured to meet international microscopy supplies standards, these grids are compatible with most TEM holders. High-purity carbon (99.99%) and nickel provide a clean, minimal-contamination surface, with the structure designed for consistent performance in analytical and microscopy applications.


Convenient Handling and Long-Term Storage

Supplied in a pack of 25, the grids feature a long shelf life when stored in dry, dust-free conditions. Handling is safe with anti-static tweezers, and both nickel and carbon film are stable at high temperatures and are non-toxic, ensuring user confidence in laboratory environments.
