Gold coated microscope slides and coverslips
The Nano-Tec gold coated microscope slides and coverslips are designed for applications such as microscopy, AFM / SPM, nanotechnology and biotechnology. They are also used as opaque light microscopy supports or gold coated substrates for experiments. The Borofloat 33 microscope slides and coverslips are pre-cleaned before coating and coated with gold over an adhesion layer of chromium. Both chromium and gold are deposited in a dedicated high vacuum deposition system fitted with electron beam (EB) evaporation sources. The standard gold coating has a thickness of 50nm, additionally available coating thicknesses are: 10nm, 100nm and 500nm. The gold coating is not atomically flat and there are height differences in the nanometre range. Nano-Tec gold coated microscope slides and coverslips are autoclavable.
