General Use: TEM Surfaces: TEM Grids - Copper, Molybdenum, Gold, Silver, Titanium, Nickel, Aluminum, Beryllium, Carbon
A light touch with this pen will provide a thin layer of adhesive on the grid. Layer will dry in 1-2 minutes at room temperature and is then ready to receive the sections. Pen may also be used as pretreatment before coating grids with formvar or other thin films.

Holds grids during filming; allows coating underneath, hole size 2.4mm.
Stainless steel mesh platform holds grids during coating. The two sizes are meant for standard 75 and 100mm petri dishes. Jaffe Wick Washers are frequently used in coating TEM grids for asbestos analysis including AHERA. Stainless steel mesh is resistant to acetone and other common solvents.
The 75mm size is 47.6 x 44.5 x 6.4mm (1.875 x 1.75 x 0.25"). The 100mm size is 63.5 x 51 x 6.4mm (2.5 x 2 x 0.25").

The PELCO® TEM grid holder blocks are designed to hold a number of TEM grids when they need to cleaned in a glow discharge system such as the PELCO® easiGlow system or if they need to be coated in a carbon coater such as the Cressington 208C high vacuum carbon coater. The TEM grid holder blocks are made of a solid piece of vacuum grade aluminum and have recessed positions for each grid with slots for easy loading and lifting the grids with fine pointed tweezers. Each position also has an additional centre recess to avoid any contact with the grid support area and the block. Handling of TEM grids with these blocks is much easier and more secure than using glass slides. The PELCO® TEM grid holder blocks are available in two sizes: 25 grids and 81 grids. The larger size is ideal for use coating system with a larger chamber or with rotary-tilting stages.
Dimensions of 25 TEM grid version: 35 x 35 x 6.4mm (1.4 x 1.4 x 0.25") Dimensions of 81 TEM grid version: 63.5 x 63.5 x 6.3mm (2.5 x 2.5 x 0.25")
