Lacey Carbon Films on 200 Mesh Copper Grids (Pack of 25)

Product Description

Lacey carbon films are similar to the holey carbon films in that they have open areas but because of the fine lacey mesh structure they offer a greater percentage of open area in comparison (see micrograph). They provide the thinnest possible support film while maintaining adequate strength and give practically no background interference in the TEM. As much of the specimen is unsupported, these films are appropriate for use where a structure free background is of importance. Lacey carbon films are particularly suitable for studying some nanotubes, acicular crystals and biological/materials specimens.

Supplied as 25 or 50 grids in a grid box.

Lacey carbon support films can be applied to other grid sizes, material or type. Further details available on request.

Exceptional Support for TEM Specimens

Lacey carbon films on 200 mesh copper grids offer a reliable substrate for TEM sample preparation. The lacey structure provides versatile specimen support, suitable for both particulate and delicate samples. Its high uniformity and minimal contamination are crucial for obtaining accurate electron microscopy images.


Superior Material and Construction

Each grid is made of copper, coated with high-purity lacey carbon film, ensuring low contaminant levels. With a film thickness of 1030 nm, these grids are engineered to withstand handling under ambient laboratory conditions when using clean, non-abrasive tools. Their build aligns with rigorous electron microscopy standards.


Ease of Handling and Storage

Grids should be managed with non-abrasive, clean instruments due to their electrostatic sensitivity. Store them in a dry and clean environment for optimal longevity and performance. Their insolubility and resistance to high temperatures make them highly durable under TEM operational settings.
