SEM SAMPLE PREPARATION

In our SEM sample preparation laboratories within the Electron Microscopy Service Unit, Leica EM CPD300 Critical Spot Drying Device is used for drying of polymeric and various materials such as airgel and hydrogel as well as biological samples. In addition, the desired non-conductive samples can be coated with gold / palladium (Au / Pd) or carbon (C) in the desired coating thickness with our Leica EM ACE600 coating device.

In addition, our SEM sample preparation laboratory provides the researcher with the necessary technical and chemical infrastructure and the necessary pre-chemical preparation and fixation processes for the biological materials required for SEM imaging.
