DSCR – Dual Purpose Sputter and Carbon Coater
The Desk SEM Coater model DSCR is a compact coating system included both of sputter and so carbon coater. This system is able to sputter noble metals such as gold(Au) palladium(Pd) platinum(Pt) and gold/palladium(Au/Pd) on non-conductive or poorly conductive specimens and so able to coat carbon film on the samples.

Pulsed Carbon Fiber Evaporation
The small chamber, desk vacuum sputter and carbon coater is able to perform pulsed carbon fiber evaporation. Short pulses provide more controlled deposition and significantly reduces the amount of debris associated with traditional carbon deposition.

Touch Screen Control with Colorful Display
DSCR the Desk SEM Coater is equipped with a 7” colored touch screen and full automatic control and data input that can be operated by even inexperienced users.The vacuum current and deposition information can be observed as digital data or curves on the touch screen. Information of the last 300 coating can also be saved in the history page.
Carbon Coating Head
The device is equipped with an interchangeable head to carbon coating purpose. The ability of loading two carbon fibers with diameter of 0.8 mm, allows coating thicker carbon film if it’s required.

Sample Stages
The DSCR can be equipped with different sample stage configurations depending on the user requirements. The sample stages are rotatable with adjustable height and can be changed easily. The rotary planetary sample stage is a good choice for uniform coating of porous specimens.
