EM-Tec Pioloform Carbon Support Films for TEM
EM Tec Formvar Carbon TEM Support Films
Introduction
The PC- range Pioloform carbon TEM support films are more robust than the pioloform or carbon only films. Pioloform is sometimes preferred over Formvar due to its higher mechanical and thermal stability and lower density, which can help reduce electron scattering and results in better transparency. The thin carbon film on top of the pioloform stabilizes the support film when working with voltages above 120kV or for working over prolonged times on the same area. However, carbon is hydrophobic from itself so when depositing particles, the support film needs to be threated to make the surface hydrophylic. Making support film hydrophylic can achieved with a glow discharge device, a UV lamp or immersion in 70% alcohol for a second. For TEM-Tomography application, which could damage or deform the sample, we suggest to coat the sample with a few nm thin carbon layer.
The pioloform carbon TEM support films also offer a good solution, where a carbon only film would be too fragile to withstand pre-treatment and/or additional processing. The thickness of the pioloform film is around 5-7 nm, the thickness of the carbon film is around 7-10 nm. The carbon film is on top of the pioloform film.
The Pioloform carbon TEM support films are available on 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400 mesh and larger slotted copper, nickel and gold TEM grids. See the matrix below for the currently available PC-range Piolofom carbon support films with packaging sizes of 25, 50 and 100 in a TEM grid box.
