Film on Grids
Support Film on grids has become a main product line for us since the demand for high quality coated grids has increased. To make your microscopy work easier and to save you a great deal of time we offer you a complete line.
All of our coated grids are optically checked followed by batch testing in the EM. Packed in grid storage box.
NOTE: All of our film is laid on the shiny side of the grid.

4. Formvar/
Silicon Monoxide
A formvar film stabilized with a thin film of Silicon monoxide. Silicon monoxide produces a desirable support film because it offers low background contrast and it is stable under the electron beam and it is more hydrophilic than carbon film.

Beryllium Support Films
A deposition of 250 Angstroms thick Beryllium onto the 0.005" thick, 25x25mm squares of a Cu substrate. The Be can be removed by dissolving the substrate in nitric acid (50:50). The Be film will then be removed from the acid, washed in distilled water and mounted on TEM grids. A Be support film will reduce background interference to a minimum and it is particularly useful where analyses for C or Si are required, so that these alternative supports cannot be used. Another advantage of the Be support is its very fine grain size which produces a very sharp ring pattern for in-situ calibration.
