Popis: Low-Z nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) grids have been developed to reduce spurious fluorescence and avoid X-ray peak overlaps or interferences between the specimen and conventional metal grids. The low-Z NCD grids are non-toxic and safe to handle, conductive, can be subjected to high-temperature heating experiments, and may be used for analytical work in lieu of metal grids. Both a half-grid geometry, which can be used for any lift-out method, or a full-grid geometry that can be used for ex situ lift-out or thin film analyses, can be fabricated and used for experiments.
