PURE SILICON ULTRASM® TEM WINDOWS
Read more about the unique combination of enabling features and benefits here.
  • Nanometer Thinness: thinner than the thinnest available carbon grids
  • Plasma Cleanable: unlike carbon grids, can vigorously plasma clean to remove organic contamination
  • Uniformity: reduced field-to-field variability
  • Reduced Chromatic Blur: half the chromatic blur of carbon grids
  • Nanometer-Scale Pores: allow stable suspension of nanoscale materials for imaging without background
  • Silicon Composition: sputter-deposited, pure, intrinsic silicon
  • Increased Stability: at high beam currents and high annealing temperatures
  • Minimal Background Signal: enables elemental analyses of samples containing nitrogen and/or carbon
