Carbon adhesive tabs that eliminate issues with rough surfaces, insufficient tackiness, and hardness with significantly lower contaminant levels under EDS. Tabs are made in USA and very popular, and may be used in place of other conductive adhesive in many applications in conventional and field emission microscopes. They are also widely used in forensic laboratories for study of gunshots residues. Without the addition of conductive coating, small nonconductive particles can often be imaged and X-Ray analyzed, cutting down your analysis time. These tabs are composed of a thin film of strong adhesive approximately ½" diameter. Over 99% transparent to EDS, with a very small amount of nickel (0.6%) and copper (< 0.3%).
Refrigeration will increase shelf life but tabs need to be warmed up to room temperature before use (usually more than one hour).
