Coating Systems

The Denton Desk IV Coater is a compact, benchtop sputter coater designed for SEM/TEM sample preparation. It provides uniform, fine-grain conductive coatings like gold, platinum, or carbon using magnetron sputtering or optional carbon evaporation. The system includes built-in vacuum pumps and supports features like rotation, tilt, and etching for precise thin-film deposition. Ideal for high-resolution imaging, it ensures low-temperature operation to protect delicate samples.
