Formvar/Carbon Coated

A formvar coated grid, stabilized with evaporated carbon film. This type of coating is excellent for specimen support, especially for ultra thin sections.

All of our coated grids are optically checked followed by batch testing in the EM. To make your microscopy work easier and to save you a great deal of time we offer you a complete line. All the support grids (except for the Beryllium Support Films) are also available with the following options: 

• Molybdenum grids in place of Au, Cu, or Ni
• As Silicone free
• With ultra-thin thickness (thickness can be requested)
• Extra thick thickness

NOTE: All of our film is laid on the shiny side of the grid.

Lacey Formvar

This formvar and carbon coated film on a broken pattern consists of woven-mesh-like openings of different sizes and shapes. Average opening sizes are 50, 100 and 150 microns. This type of pattern provides support but does not interfere when observing specimen sections.
