Installation of a new carbon coater in the Electron Microprobe Lab is now complete. The new coater is a Cressington 208C high vacuum turbo carbon coater with thickness monitor for TEM, EPMA, FESEM, and EBSD work.
Side-by-Side comparison with the old Ladd coater that served well for over 30 years (left) and the new Cressington coater (right). Thanks in part to support from the EPSC Department and the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences.
