Cressington 108 Sputter Coater
Cressington 108 Sputter Coaters are ideal for routine sample preparation. Compact, economical and simple to operate, they offer rapid pumpdown times, fine-grain coatings and negligible sample heating.
Cressington 208 Sputter Coater
The Cressington 208HR High Resolution Sputter Coaters offer real solutions to the problems encountered when coating difficult samples for FESEM imaging. FESEM applications need extreme- ly thin, fine grain, uniform coatings to eliminate charg- ing and to improve contrast on low density materials.
