Formvar on silicone monoxide film coated girds

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. All the grids below (except for the Beryllium Support Films) are also available with the following options:

• Molybdenum grids in place of Au, Cu, or Ni
• As Silicone free
• With ultra-thin thickness (thickness can be requested)
• Extra thick thickness

NOTE: All of our film is laid on the shiny side of the grid.

Formvar/Silicon Monoxide

A formvar film stabilised 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.
