SEM Coaters

Imaging samples by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) typically requires coating a conductive thin film on the sample as a preparation step. Vac Coat offers different SEM coater systems based on PVD techniques working at low or high vacuum conditions.

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.
