Collection: All-gold TEM grids

3 mm TEM grids with 1-2 μm holes in a 25 nm gold membrane supported by a scaffold of 10-20 μm thick gold bars.  The all-gold grid minimizes charging and drift, which can be especially important for cryo-EM applications.

Features:

• Compatible with standard TEM holders.
  • 3 mm diameter, < 20 μm height
• Gold membranes and scaffolds having
  • High conductivity to minimize charging,
  • A single material to minimize warping caused by differential thermal expansion.
• Alignment marks for cryo-CLEM
  • Each grid-square has 9 alignment marks that
  • Are visible both optically and via TEM, and
  • Can be used to overlay images to easily find regions of interest—for example, when doing cryo-CLEM (correlated light and electron microscopy).
• Grid-square coordinate labels
  • Each grid-square has coordinate labels to simplify navigation and save time
  • Visible both optically and via TEM, and
  • Eliminating the need for full-grid mapping (for some applications).
• We offer grids with 1-2 μm hole sizes and 200-300 mesh grid squares.
