A simple and convenient carbon coating technique has been developed. A carbon lead of a mechanical pencil was used as a carbon source for vacuum evaporator. The carbon lead of 0.3 mm or 0.5 mm diameter is clipped at both ends for heating by direct flow of electric current. For analytical applications, purity of the carbon lead may present a problem, but it was no problem except for one particular commercial product. Utilizing the carbon lead, Au, Au-Pd or Pt-Pd evaporation is also possible. These metals are evaporated on the specimen followed by carbon. The specimen may be examined in a SEM directly. The metal film is then removed from the specimen and it is studied in a TEM as a replica of the same specimen. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
