Leica EM ACE600 Coating System

Versatile high vacuum film deposition system, designed to produce very thin, fine-grained, and conductive metal and carbon coatings for the highest resolution analysis, as required for FE-SEM and TEM applications. This fully automated table-top coater includes an integrated oil-free pumping system, quartz crystal film thickness measurement and three axis motorized stage (rotation, optional tilt, and height).  

EM ACE600 can be configured for the following up to 2 methods:

  • Carbon thread evaporation (I)
  • Sputtering (II)
  • Carbon rod evaporation (III)
  • E-beam evaporation (IV)
  • Glow discharge
  • EM VCT (vacuum cyro transfer) adaptation for cryo-coating, freeze-fracture, double replica, freeze-etching and environmental transfer with the VCT Shuttle
