Highly conductive, optically transparent and available in an extensive range of sheet resistances and thicknesses, Diamond Coatings ITO coated coverslips boast all the properties required to meet the high demands of high-resolution microscopy.
ITO Coated Coverslips in High-Resolution Microscopy & SEM Imaging
Primarily designed to keep specimens under examination flat and in place, coverslips also serve to prevent:
- Specimens coming into accidental contact with immersive liquids (i.e. water or oil) and/or microscopes’ objective lenses
- Contamination through accidental contact, dust, and so on
Naturally, the overall quality, thickness, optical, anti-static properties and conductivity of coverslips are of crucial importance in high-resolution microscopy.
Both optically clear and highly conductive, Diamond Coatings’ ITO coverslips are available in a comprehensive range of sheet resistance options and thicknesses. This, of course, means they offer all necessary properties to perfectly meet the high demands placed upon them by high-resolution microscopy.
In SEM imaging, the need to minimize unwanted specimen charging by coating specimens to be investigated in metal (i.e. platinum) to produce conductive paths can pose significant problems, as such coatings can not only obstruct the passage of light but can also quench cell surface fluorophores.
ITO coated coverslips prevent such problems from arising by removing the need to coat specimens in metal.
