Carbon Coaters

Carbon coating applications vary from sample preparation for electron microscopy and structural analysis to research on the carbon-based coatings. Vac Coat offers carbon coaters suitable for electron microscopy sample preparation and research purposes.

Thermal Evaporators

Thermal evaporation is based on thermal heating of the source material in a high-vacuum chamber which leads to the formation of a thin film of the material on the substrate. Vac Coat offers thermal evaporators optimized for the deposition of different materials’ thin films.
