Plasma Cleaners for Electron Microscopy

Our low cost plasma cleaners / plasma ashers for electron microscopy users are designed specifically for fast and efficient cleaning of sample holders and individual grids and stubs.

Our plasma cleaner / plasma asher range for electron microscopy are fully automated bench-top plasma cleaners that come with standard adapters which are suitable for the sample holders supplied with all the major microscope manufacturers. The plasma output power is fully variable over the range 0-100W, resulting in a very controllable & gentle cleaning process. Common sources of error inside the microscope are clearly reduced with plasma cleaning and the dwell time during the measurement is significantly increased.

‘PLASMA CLEANING OF TEM SAMPLE HOLDERS’ APPLICATION NOTE

In collaboration with Johnson Matthey Technology Centre, we have produced an Application Note on the effective and controlled plasma cleaning of TEM sample holders.

 

CASE STUDY

Plasma Cleaning for UHV Applications: Particle Accelerators

Daresbury Laboratory

UHV critical components, such as those used extensively in surface science laboratories and particle accelerators, are required to meet strict cleanliness criteria of which pre-installation cleaning is an important step.
