Electron Microscopy Sciences Formvar/Carbon Film 15-20 nm/1 nm thick on Single 300 µm hole Nickel Grid
A formvar coated grid, stabilized with evaporated carbon film. This type of coating is excellent for specimen support, especially for ultra thin sections. Coated grids are optically checked followed by batch testing in the electron microscope. Packed in grid storage box. NOTE: All film is laid on the shiny side of the grid. Formvar is 15 to 20 nm thick with a 1 nm carbon coating.
Grid: Nickel
Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-1.2/1.3-3C, 300 mesh Cu
C-flat is an ultra-flat, holey carbon-coated support grid for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Unlike competing holey carbon films, C-flat is manufactured without plastics, so it is clean upon arrival and the user has no residue to contend with. Made with patent pending technology, C-flat provides an ultra-flat surface that results in better particle dispersion and more uniform ice thickness.
Patterning is done using deep-UV projection lithography, ensuring the most accurate and consistent hole shapes and sizes down to submicron features. The precise methods by which C-flat is manufactured elminate artifacts such as excess carbon and edges around holes.
C-flat holey carbon grids provide the ideal specimen support to achieve high resolution data in making them an ideal choice for cryo single particle analysis, cryo tomography and automated TEM analysis. 1.2 µm holes with 1.3 µm spacing.
Mesh: 300
Material: Copper
Electron Microscopy Sciences Sylgard™ 184
Same as the Kwik Gard but in its original container. A two-part silicone elastomer, ideal for potting and encapsulating applications. Very low dielectric constant sealing compound used in patch clamping and many other lab applications. After cure, will withstand -55 degree to 200 degree C. Curing time for this silicone 24hrs@25 degree C, and 15 min.@150 degree C.

Structure Probe Inc SPI Silver Streaker for SEM applications, 30g
The SPI Supplies Silver Streaker is a unique silver paint application system, ideal for mounting powders, granules, particles, and anything requiring minimum exposure to liquids or vapors. Pressure is applied to the sponge top applicator which then releases a thin, even discharge of silver paint. This layer is extremely thin, evaporates literally in a flash, and uses minimal silver solids for each application of the paint. The SPI Silver Streaker was actually an invention of the early workers in the Structure Probe SEM analytical services laboratories where the need for this kind of product was readily recognized.
Electron Microscopy Sciences AFM Substrate Ultra-Flat Silicon Wafer 4", 100 mm diameter, <100> Orientation
These ultra-flat wafers can be used for substrate studies or as substrate for AFM and SEM samples by cleaving the wafer.
Diameter: 100 mm
Orientation: <100>
Thickness: 525 µm±20 µm
Roughness: Typically 2-3Å
Resistivity: 10-20 Ohm-cm
Ted Pella Inc Formvar/Carbon 200 mesh, Copper, 50/pk
A Formvar film covered with a "light" layer of carbon. The heat and electrical conducting properties of carbon help to stabilize the Formvar films when exposed to the electron beam. This is a resilient, all-purpose specimen support film, ideal for mounting thin sections and for applications using lower ranges of magnification.

Electron Microscopy Sciences R 2/2 Holey Carbon Films on Grids, Grid: Gold. Mesh: 200., 10/PK
QUANTIFOIL is a perforated support foil with pre-defined hole size, shape and arrangement that has advantages in electron microscopy (EM) or low-energy electron point source (LEEPS) when compared with conventional holey film. QUANTIFOIL with circular holes is used in cryo-electron tomographic reconstruction. The roundness of the holes is advantageous with respect to the formation of an ice layer of constant thickness. Hole size is 2 µm. Space between holes is 2 µm. Center to center is 4 µm. Types with 2 µm holes are recommended for magnifications between 30.000x and 40.000x. Grid: Gold. Mesh: 200 .
