The Agar automatic SEM carbon coater is a dedicated unit for routine coating of SEM and microprobe samples, where a conductive low atomic number coating is required. The dual carbon rod source with unique current feedback control gives highly reproducible carbon coatings. In automatic mode, the required voltage setting and evaporation time can be entered and displayed via the digital programmer. A manual and a pulsed mode for coating heat sensitive samples are also included. The adjustable height specimen table allows the working distance to be changed.

Where an accurate determination of coating thickness is required, the manual film thickness monitor, AGB7348, can be used with this coating unit and a vacuum feedthrough is included for this purpose. Chamber size: 120mm dia x 120mm

The AGB7367SE Carbon Coater has the same technical specifications as the standard AGB7367A Auto Carbon Coater but with a larger 150mm diameter chamber which will accommodate the optional Rotary Tilting Stage or Rotary Planetary Tilting Stage. Chamber size: 150mm dia x 165mm.
