No. 12560: EFFA® Mark II Carbon Coater
The EFFA® Mark II Carbon Coater coats a specimen by evaporating strands of carbon fabric in a partial vacuum. The use of a 150-200um vacuum creates a diffused, shadowless coating, eliminating the need for rotary-tilting shadowers. Cycle time is two minutes or less, depending on pump capacity. Film thickness can be controlled by the number of carbon strands or by substituting optional coating chambers. The carbon strands are supplied as squares of carbon cloth, each containing about 150 strands. The number of strands required are unraveled from one edge of the square and clamped between the posts. The chamber is pumped down and the power turned up until the strands "burn out". Each strand contains about 100 10um carbon fibers, which outgas quickly as the system is pumped. There are no voids or sparking, as with carbon rods. Price does not include vacuum pump.

No. 12561: Replacement Carbon Fabric
Effective March 2005, fabric strands are about twice as wide as the old ones. The old style fabric is no longer available. Those previously using two strands of fabric would now use only one. Those using a single strand could increase the sample distance, or split a strand lengthwise. Two squares approximately 3" x3". . . . .$10.00

No. 18930: EffaCoater
The EffaCoater is a compact, low-cost sputter coater intended for coating non-conductive specimens for SEM analysis. Fully integrated solid state timer enhances reliability and simplifies service. A full one year guarantee for parts and labor is furnished.

Samples can be coated in less than 30 seconds with a high-rate target. Magnetic field deflection prevents specimen heat damage. Semi-automatic, repeatable coating is possible after parameters are set. Inert gas bleed fittings are included.

Long-lasting conventional targets are available for use with non-heat sensitive samples. Conventional targets do not have magnetic field deflection.

Price does not include target or vacuum pump. Target prices vary with metal prices. . . . . . .$5,850.00

No. 18905: Targets
Targets are available in either high rate or conventional forms. High rate targets coat a sample two to three times faster, with no heating. Conventional targets last longer and are slightly cheaper. All of them consist of a stainless steel base with 0.010" foil permanently mounted. Targets are easily interchangeable. High rate and conventional targets are available in the following materials. Other target materials available on special order. Argon is required for all targets except gold and gold-palladium. High rate targets returned to us receive a $25.00 credit towards a new target.
