MADE FOR ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

LUXOR metal coaters are used extensively in industrial and academic SEM and TEM labs worldwide where image quality and high resolution imaging are of the utmost importance. Metal sputter coating not only prevents sample charging, but also provides improved edge resolution and a better protection of electron beam sensitive samples.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

The fully automated LUXOR coater is equipped with A² technology, which generates a remarkably uniform, thin and homogeneous gold or platinum coating. Thanks to the unique ‘upside down’ design, your SEM, samples and operators are optimally protected.
