Lacey Carbon Films on 200 Mesh Nickel (Pack of 50)

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.

Superior Support for Electron Microscopy

These grids offer unparalleled stability with a lacey carbon film precisely coated on high-purity nickel mesh. The unique lacey structure provides optimal support for delicate specimens, facilitating high-contrast transmission electron microscopy imaging. Their standard diameter and mechanical strength ensure reliability for routine and advanced microscopy applications alike.


Reliable Analytical Grade Quality

Manufactured to microscopy-grade standards, each grid exhibits consistency in mesh size, carbon coating, and film thickness. The nickel material remains inert under electron beams and is resistant to strong acids, extending the grids suitability across various laboratory techniques. Their non-poisonous nature and precision construction make them trusted consumables for quality analysis.


Storage and Handling Guidelines

Maintain grid quality by storing them in a dry, dust-free environment and always handle using clean, anti-static tweezers. This prevents contamination or damage to the ultra-thin lacey carbon support, ensuring clear, dependable microscopy results throughout the grids stable shelf life.
