Dual-Metal Evaporator

C-EvaporatorThe Denton DV-502A carbon evaporator is available for high vacuum coating of carbon and other materials as an adjunct to TEM, SEM, x-ray microanalysis, and other research methodologies. Among other uses, the evaporator can produce carbon support films and evaporate metallic compounds. Many of the vacuum functions of this instrument are automated; it utilizes an Alcatel turbo pump instead of a conventional diffusion pump, resulting in faster pumping times. 

ITG users may reserve time on the dual-metal evaporator using the Metal Evaporator calendar.
