It sputters noble metals such as gold (Au), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and gold\/palladium (Au\/Pd) onto non-conductive or poorly conductive specimens, and it can also deposit carbon films onto samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DSCR desk sputter coater was developed as a sample preparation tool for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). A built-in rotary pump reaches a vacuum level below 50 mTorr, a range that suits both noble metal sputter coating and carbon fiber evaporation coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sputter deposition of oxidizing metals, Field Emission SEM (FE-SEM), SEM with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM EDX), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) sample preparation, other models such as the DST1, DSCT, and DCT are recommended, as they are better matched to these requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Advantages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple, straightforward operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntuitive touchscreen for managing the coating process and entering data quickly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-to-use software with both fully automatic and semi-automatic control modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick, effortless specimen loading and unloading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent film thickness for repeatable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise, reproducible coatings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-resolution fine coatings, with gold grain size on the order of 2 nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-voltage sputtering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGLAD (Glancing Angle Deposition) sputtering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlasma cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo cooling system required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon coating in both flash and pulse modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual carbon fiber configuration for thicker layer deposition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-year warranty for added peace of mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCE conformity, confirming compliance with safety standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorldwide public and product liability insurance coverage, protecting against property damage or personal injury caused by Vac Coat systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePulsed Carbon Fiber Evaporation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact chamber of this desk vacuum sputter and carbon coater supports pulsed carbon fiber evaporation.
