Leica EM ACE Coater Family

Developed in cooperation with leading scientists, the EM ACE coaters cover all the requirements for your sample preparation needs, from coating to freeze fracture. Open the door to explore new coating capabilities. Our philosophy is simple: “Produce a coating layer easily, fast and reliably, to achieve the best image of your sample in the electron microscope.” A Coater Family to cover all your needs

Image is everything let`s get it covered The EM ACE one-touch coating systems are available in two versions: The EM ACE200 Low Vacuum coater for general SEM and TEM analysis and the EM ACE600 High Vacuum coater for the highest resolution TEM and FE-SEM analysis. The EM ACE600 instrument is easily upgraded to a cryo-coater including vacuum cryo transfer. The instruments are fully automated for the easiest operation. Their compact design and small footprint save lab space whilst delivering operational ergonomy. Protocols can be shared as the touch screen interface supports a multi-user...

The fourth section is degassed and 2 nm will be deposited. The Table is on the defined zero position and the instrument automatically vented after finishing the process. SMALLEST FOOTPRINT EM ACE600 A protocol for sputtering iridium is chosen. The stage will automatically move to 50 mm working distance and 5° tilt. With 80 mA 5 nm of iridium are sputter coated at a pressure of 8x10 -3 mbar. Coating...

EM ACE200 Sputter and Carbon Thread Coating for perfectly reproducible results The EM ACE200 is a high quality desk-top coater designed to produce homogeneous coatings of conductive metal or carbon as required for electron microscopy. The fully automated instrument can be configured either as a sputter coater (II) or a carbon thread evaporation coater (I). Or, if preferred, the EM ACE200 can combine both methods with interchangeable heads on the one instrument. Additional options include: >> Quartz crystal measurement – for reproducible layers >> Planetary rotation – for even distribution...

EM ACE600 High Vacuum Coating - configure your system - we build the coater you need The EM ACE600 is a 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). The EM ACE600 can be configured for the following up to two methods: >> Carbon...

Not only a coater - cryo options and VCT connection for the EM ACE600 Contamination-free cryo-SEM sample preparation Freeze Fracture, Freeze Etching and Freeze Drying The EM ACE600 outfitted with an EM VCT500 (vacuum cryo transfer system) is the ideal solution for contamination-free cryo-SEM sample preparation with complete environmental control. Cryo stage and room temperature stages are interchangeable once the coater is cryo-configured. With the VCT500 configuration, the EM ACE600 connects to other VCT-outfitted instruments such as glove boxes, SEMs and the EM FC7. Freeze fracture...
