Instrument Details

The Fischione Plasma Cleaner M1400 is an instrument used to clean organic contamination from samples for electron microscopy, particularly for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It uses a low-energy, reactive gas plasma, specifically an oxygen-argon mixture, to chemically remove carbonaceous debris without altering the sample's elemental or structural properties. This cleaning process is essential for achieving high-resolution images in both TEM and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 

Capabilities

• Oxygen-argon (O_25%-Ar_75%) plasma cleaner for TEM samples and TEM holders
