The JEOL Carbon Coater is a fully automated system designed to apply a thin, conductive carbon film to sample surfaces. This coating is especially useful for preparing non-conductive samples, helping to eliminate charge-up artifacts during scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis.
It's an ideal solution for enhancing results in X-ray applications (EDS), cathodoluminescence (CL), and backscatter electron imaging.
User-friendly and efficient, the system offers hands-free operation with automated vacuum control and carbon evaporation.

Key Features
- Rotating and tilting stage are optionally available.
- Film thickness is influenced by changing the sample distance from the carbon rod.
- Specially designed high-purity carbon rods that do not require any sharpening.
- Fully automated vacuum, pre-heat, and evaporation sequences.
- Applies a thin film conductive carbon coating that is effective in eliminating charging of non-conductive materials in an SEM.
