Carbon coating is a process where a thin layer of hard amorphous carbon film is applied to surfaces.
This coating serves various purposes, such as protecting industrial tools from wear and corrosion.
In electron microscopy, carbon coatings are crucial for minimizing imaging interference and improving electrical properties.
They are widely used in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) applications.
5 Key Benefits for Industrial and Microscopy Applications
1. Prevents Surface Deterioration in SEM
One of the main benefits of carbon coatings in SEM is their ability to prevent charging mechanisms that can cause surface deterioration.
These coatings are amorphous and effectively reduce sample charging, leading to highly efficient imaging of biological materials.
2. Enhances EDS Preparation
Carbon coatings are particularly useful in preparing non-conductive specimens for energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
3. Reduces Microscope Beam Damage
Additionally, carbon coatings can reduce microscope beam damage.
4. Improves Thermal Conduction and Secondary Electron Emission
They increase thermal conduction and improve secondary electron emission.
5. Enhances Edge Resolution
Carbon coatings enhance edge resolution by reducing beam penetration.
