The Leica EM ACE600 offers coating methods using sputtering, carbon thread, carbon rod and e-beam evaporation, using up to two methods at the same time. This is realized with angled sources attached to a metal vacuum chamber and a rotating stage to allow evenly distributed films on a stage size over 100mm. Glow discharge can be performed to make grids hydrophilic and an integrated quartz crystal measurement device accurately determines the layer thickness.
