Holey Carbon Films on 400 Mesh Nickel (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 Imaging for Electron Microscopy

These holey carbon films on nickel grids deliver high electron transparency, enabling detailed imaging of nanoscale structures with minimal background interference. Their uniformly perforated, smooth carbon films are specifically engineered for optimal contrast and clarity in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) applications.


Precision Manufacturing and High Purity

Each 400 mesh nickel grid is manufactured under stringent conditions, ensuring film uniformity and high material purity (>99.9%). The robust nickel base combined with the thin, amorphous or graphitic carbon coating provides both durability and excellent support for specimens, aligning with international TEM grid standards.


Reliable Handling and Longevity

To maintain pristine surfaces and prolong usability, these grids should be handled exclusively with clean forceps and stored dry in a contamination-free environment. With proper storage, the grids have an indefinite shelf life, supporting ongoing research needs in laboratories and advanced material studies.
