EMS Q150V Plus automatic coater, 230V
The EMS 150V Plus is optimised for high-vacuum applications, with an ultimate vacuum of 1 x 10-6 mbar. Together with the use of a wide-range Penning/Pirani gauge, this enables the sputtering of oxidising metals with ultra-fine grain sizes, which are suitable for high resolution imaging. The lower background pressure removes oxygen nitrogen and water vapour from the chamber, avoiding chemical reactions during the sputter process, which could otherwise lead to impurities or defects in the coatings. Similarly, lower scattering allows for high purity, amorphous carbon films of high density.
The EMS 150V Plus offers all the benefits of the EMS 150T Plus, but with a finer grain size and thinner coating, for ultra-high-resolution applications (above x 200,000 magnification).
Applications:
- Ultra-high-resolution magnification SEM
- Carbon coating of TEM grids
- Protective platinum layers for FIB
- R&D of corrosion-, friction-, and wear-protective layers
- Protective layers on medical devices
- BSE imaging
- EDX, WDS, EBSD analysis
- Carbon coating of replicas
- Nano-technology e.g. Zeolites, polymer nanobrushes
These products are for Research Use Only.
Features:
- Ultimate vacuum of 1 x 10-6mbar
- New multi-colour LED visual status indicator
- 16 Gb of flash memory can store more than 1000 recipes
- New software sorts recipes per user according to recent use
- Multiple-user profiles can be set up on one machine
- New touch and swipe capacitive screen
- Visual status indicator: A large multi-colour status indicator light provides a visual indication of the state of the equipment, allowing users to easily identify the status of a progress at a distance.
The indicator LED shows the following states:
- Initialisation
- Process running
- Idle
- Coating in progress
- Process completed
- Process ended in fault condition
Audio indication also sounds on completion of the process.
