Advanced Coating & Material Options
Selecting the correct grid for electron microscope is crucial based on your sample preparation protocol and the specific chemistry of your specimens.
-
Uncoated Metal Grids Standard copper TEM grids are the most widely used. However, if your sample reacts with copper or requires specific chemical treatments, we provide highly inert gold TEM grids and nickel TEM grids.
-
Carbon & Formvar Coatings For supporting ultra-thin biological sections or fragile nanomaterials, a formvar coated tem grid provides a robust plastic substrate. The addition of a carbon layer (continuous carbon tem grid) conducts heat and electrons away from the sample, stabilizing it under the electron beam.
-
Holey, Laced Carbon & Quantifoil Essential for high-contrast imaging and Cryo-EM. A holey carbon tem grid or Lace carbon TEM grids (including Quantifoil TEM grids) allows the specimen to be suspended over a hole, completely eliminating the background noise of the support film.
Research Applications
-
Biology & Life Sciences Vital TEM support grids used extensively as TEM grids for biological samples, TEM grids for virus imaging, and TEM grids for cell ultrastructure study. Our holey grids are specifically optimized as TEM grids for cryo-EM and TEM grids for protein imaging.
-
Nanotechnology The incredibly smooth surface of an ultra thin carbon TEM grid is perfect as TEM grids for nanoparticle analysis and characterizing complex TEM grids for nanomaterials.
-
Material Science & Physics Rely on our robust molybdenum tem grid and platinum tem grid options when conducting rigorous TEM grids for material science research, high-temperature treatments, or demanding TEM grids for semiconductor analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions: TEM Grids
We supply a vast array of transmission electron microscopy grids. The most common are copper TEM grids, but we also offer gold TEM grids, nickel TEM grids, as well as specialized molybdenum tem grid and platinum tem grid options for high-temperature applications.
A carbon coated tem grid is essential for stabilizing ultra-thin samples. The carbon layer dissipates heat and charge buildup under the electron beam, preventing the sample from moving or degrading during imaging.
A holey carbon tem grid (or Lace carbon TEM grids) provides a support film with microscopic holes. It is primarily used in Cryo-EM to suspend the sample in vitreous ice over the holes, avoiding the background scattering noise that a continuous film would produce.
Absolutely. For the highest resolution needs, we recommend our ultra thin carbon TEM grids or the cutting-edge graphene coated tem grid, which provides the thinnest possible support structure with near-zero background interference.
