Sputter Coater Leica EM ACE600

Carbon, E-Beam and Sputter Coating - Trust in precision

Prepare with confidence the fine grained thin films you need for electron microscopy analysis with the EM ACE600 sputter coater. Precise, automated carbon and sputter coating processes yield reproducible results you can trust and enable you to increase your sample output with every run.

The EM ACE600 makes your routine sample preparation simple and reliable and saves valuable time with the convenience of front door loading, automated, and receipt-based coating processes which can be started by a single button press.

High Vacuum Coating System for a wide range of applications

Equipped with a configurable metal process chamber, the EM ACE600 sputter coater is flexible and can be adapted to a wide range of applications. Reach your workflow goals and meet the needs of your lab by running up to two different sources in a single preparation process or even configure the EM ACE600 for advanced cryo workflows.

Whether you need to…

Perform high-resolution imaging of flat or structured non-conductive specimens
Enhance the contrast of nanometer scale structures, such as proteins or DNA strands
Produce thin, but strong support layers for TEM grids or
Provide protection layers for sensitive samples
Expand the system for cryo applications

… with the EM ACE600 carbon and sputter coater you got it covered.

Ultra thin carbon films

Carbon coating has multiple applications for electron microscopy. It needs to be conductive, but invisible for the electron beam and should not have grain structure.

Thin films produced by the EM ACE600 carbon thread with adaptive pulsing are precise in thickness, strong, conductive and can even be baked out for further reduction of contamination. Ultimately, such films provide:

High transparency to electrons
Adequate strength to withstand electron bombardment
Uniform thickness, crucial for analytical investigations, quantitative imaging, or electron tomography

Stay focused on the critical parts of your preparation process

Be confident that your routine sample preparation gets done with the press of a single button by using the EM ACE600 carbon and sputter coater. Simple and reliable workflows and convenient standard operating procedures enable you to focus on the critical parts of EM sample preparation. You can concentrate on optimizing your workflow and spend less time learning how to operate the system or training others how to use it.

Safe loading and unloading of sensitive samples via the front door
A workflow-based user interface and fast access to relevant parameters guides the way
Light-weight and robust sources for convenient daily handling
