MSE PRO Gold Coated Glass Coverslips, 2/pk

Introduction

Gold (Au) material is 99.999 % pure and is deposited onto borosilicate glass coverslips using electron beam evaporation. A thin 2-7 nm layer of chromium (99.99 %) is used as an adhesion promoter for all gold coatings. All substrates are pre-cleaned using an ion source for quality assurance. 

Optimize your imaging and analysis with our premium gold-coated coverslips, specifically engineered for microscopy, AFM, SPM, and biotechnology. We utilize high-grade borosilicate glass substrates, selected for their excellent thermal resistance, chemical durability, and high optical quality.

Key Features

  • Advanced Adhesion & Purity: All coverslips undergo a rigorous pre-cleaning process before being coated via electron beam (EB) evaporation in a high-vacuum environment. A precision chromium interlayer is used to ensure superior gold-to-glass bonding.

  • Precision Thickness Options: While our standard gold thickness is 50 nm, we also offer specialized coatings at 10 nm, 100 nm, and 500 nm to suit a variety of research requirements.

  • Secure Gel-Pak® Shipping: To guarantee pristine surface quality, our coverslips are packaged in X0 Gel-Pak boxes. This specialized vacuum-grade packaging keeps the coated surfaces immobile and protected from scratches or contact during transit.

COVERSLIP REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS:

For safely removing glass coverslip products from the packaging, please use a flat tweezer.The glass coverslips are extremely delicate and must be handled with care to avoid cracking them. 

MSE Supplies offers custom metal coating using e-beam vapor deposition, a high-vacuum process with excellent control of film thickness. Please contact us for bulk order and customization.
