GRIDS WITH SPECIMEN SUPPORT FILMS
Supplied in a box, usually from stock, on 150, 200 and 300 mesh copper or gold grids. We have introduced a third film type and renamed the second one, giving a more accurate description. Catalogue numbers for the first two remain unchanged.

Formvar film, suffix F: A thin film of pure Formvar resin, 30 - 75nm.
Formvar with carbon coating, suffix C, ~5nm: This film has a moderately thin layer of carbon which stabilises the films quickly under an electron beam. The most universally used support film grids.
Formvar with heavy carbon coating, suffix CH, 15-25nm: This film is particularly strong and stable. The Formvar may be dissolved - see user note. This film provides greatest stability and strength. For highest magnifications of particulate matter these substrated grids, with the Formvar removed, show very little intrinsic structure.

LACEY SUPPORT FILM GRIDS
A lacey network support film. The holes in the lacey support film vary in size from less than a quarter micron to more than 10 microns making them ideal for any type of specimen. Lacey support films are extremely strong and withstand vigorous specimen preparation treatment. The specimen material is supported by the film network but lies across or protrudes into the holes of the mesh. This allows high definition imaging without the effects of underlying support material. Lacey films can be used for specimens ranging from large crystals and other particulate material to virus particles. Smaller particles, such as viruses or bacteria, tend to adhere around the inner edges of the holes, an ideal situation for high resolution microscopy. Lacey films are also ideal for selected area electron diffraction imaging.

SILICON NITRIDE SUPPORT FILMS
We can also supply:
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic silicon nitride membrane surfaces.
50nm Silicon nitride membranes have been modified using Atomic Layer-Deposited (ALD) techniques to change their surface properties. Depending on the process used, both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substrates have been created with the following advantages:

Choice between low and high surface energies

Smooth and conformal substrates

Enhanced wetting and biocompatibility (hydrophilic)

No need for plasma treatment of surface prior to cell growth

Hydrophobic coating offers novel platform for deposition and growth of nanomaterials

These coatings are available on 50nm silicon nitride membrane with a window size of 0.5 x 0.5mm on a 200µm silicon frame with a diameter of 3mm, compatible with all standard TEM grid holders.

Please ask if you have a requirement for these special support films.

C-FLAT™ HOLEY CARBON GRIDS
C-flat™ is an ultra-flat, holey carbon-coated TEM support grid for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
C-flat™ products are fully specified by 4 parameters: the hole diameter and pitch of the holey carbon film, the material type and mesh size of the grid. They are manufactured without plastics, are clean upon arrival and the user has no residue to contend with.

Made with patent pending technology, C-flat™ provides an ultra-flat surface that results in better particle dispersion and more uniform ice thickness. Patterning is done using deep-UV projection lithography, ensuring the most accurate and consistent hole shapes and sizes down to submicron features. The precise methods by which C-flat™ is manufactured eliminate artefacts such as excess carbon and edges around holes.

Applications
C-flat™ holey carbon grids provide the ideal specimen support to achieve high resolution data in cryo-TEM making them an ideal choice for single particle analysis, cryo electron tomography and automated TEM analysis.
Cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) and Single Particle Analysis ( SPA ):
The ultra-flat surface of C-flat™ leads to even ice thickness and uniform particle distribution within the hole areas. This optimal particle distribution results in superior data being collected as compared with other holey support films. 2µm hole sizes are standard but custom hole sizes are available so C-flat™ can accommodate the common magnifications used for quantitative TEM analysis.
Automated TEM:
C-flat™ provides a regular array of analysis sites compatible with automated data collection software such as Leginon. This compatibility, in combination with the more uniform ice thickness and particle distribution, results in more high-quality target sites per grid.

The multi hole grid has a staggered pattern of six features consisting of three circle patterns of 1 micron, 1.4 micron and 2 micron diameter and three ellipse patterns of 1 x 4 microns, 1.4 x 5.6 microns and 2 x 8 microns.

Other sizes are available.

GRAPHENE
Graphene is a single atomic layer of carbon atoms, tightly packed in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. This novel material is atomically thin, chemically inert, consists of light atoms and possesses a highly ordered structure. Graphene is electrically and thermally conductive and is the strongest material ever measured. These remarkable properties make graphene the ideal support film for electron microscopy.

Applications

Direct imaging of soft and hard nanomaterials

Biodevices

Single molecule gas detection

Graphene nanoribbons

Integrated circuits

Transparent conducting electrodes

Ultracapacitors

Elemental analysis by FT-IR reveals that the synthesised graphene sheets are free of detrimental oxygen functionalities. The FT-IR spectrum of synthesised graphene is similar to that of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG).
The ultrahigh-quality graphene produced by the substrate-free gas-phase method has enabled the unsurpassed TEM imaging of organic molecules and the interfaces between soft and hard nanomaterials. The pure and highly-ordered sheets were used as a near-invisible support film to directly image the atoms in a gold nanoparticle and its surrounding citrate coating. The results showed that the synthesised graphene can be used to directly observe nanoparticles functionalised with a diverse range of molecular coatings, such as proteins and DNA.
