Q150 GB Turbo-Pumped Sputter Coater / Carbon Coater for Glove Box
The Q150 GB is a modular glove box version of the highly successful Q150T ES Plus bench top turbomolecular-pumped coating system – suitable for SEM, TEM and many thin-film applications. The Q150 GB comes as standard with sputtering and carbon rod evaporation inserts and a rotating specimen stage. Options include metal evaporation, glow discharge, film thickness measurement and special stages to suit a range of specimen types.
Based on the market-leading Q150T Plus coater, the Q150 GB is single platform for both sputtering and carbon rod evaporation. Metal evaporation using filament or boat sources is also possible using an optional insert.
Depending upon user preference, the Q150GB can be a top-of-the-range sputter coater for high resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM), or a high vacuum carbon coater suitable for SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The flexibility of the Q150 GB can be further expanded using a range of optional accessories.
The Q150 GB can sputter both oxidising and non-oxidising metals making it ideal for many thin film applications.
The Q150 GB has an integral turbomolecular pump and additionally requires a suitable rotary pump or dry pump to “back” the turbomolecular pump. See: Ordering Information for details.
