EM-Tec conductive copper SEM tapes
single sided conductive copper SEM tapes | double sided conductive copper SEM tapes
EM-Tec single sided conductive copper SEM tapes
Single sided conductive copper tapes for SEM / FIB applications. Indispensable for making ground contacts between the sample surface and SEM stub or SEM sample holder. The tape is made with soft copper foil which is easily molded to follow the shape of the sample. Highly electrically conductive tape with conductive pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive. Resistance through adhesive < 1 Ohm and this tape has a high initial tack to provide good conductivity. Available in the practical widths of 3, 6 and 10mm with a length of 20m. Conductive side covered with siliconised backing paper. Clean 76mm diameter plastic core.

EM-Tec Double sided conductive copper tape for SEM / FIB applications
This double sided conductive copper tape has a layer of conductive acrylic adhesive on both sides. Highly electrically conductive with a resistance through the adhesive < 1 Ohm. This double sided conductive copper tape has the same specifications as the 3M 1182 tape. Ideal for mounting samples directly on sample stubs whilst establishing a grounding path. Either to mount large samples on stubs or for smaller samples directly on the tape. Non-conductive samples surfaces should be coated to obtain best imaging results. Can be used for long term applications. Much better conductivity than carbon tape and carbon tabs. The soft copper tape can be easily cut to the required size. Available with 6, 12 and 20mm width and length of 16.4m. Both side are covered with siliconised backing paper which makes it easy to unwind the tape and cut to size before applying the tape. Remove the siliconised paper from one side first; apply copper tape and then remove the other backing paper. Clean 76mm plastic core. Tip: Try to minimise exposed area of tape in the SEM to reduce outgassing.
