Excimer UV Cleaner SM-92100EUVC

Dark areas of contamination can gradually form on a specimen surface during observation in an electron microscope. This surface contamination can conceal the true surface structure of the specimen or degrade resolution in the contaminated area.

Ever see that 'Dark Square'? This happens when hydrocarbon-based contaminants on the surface of the specimen are irradiated by the electron beam resulting in carbonaceous deposits.

The Excimer UV Cleaner uses UV light (Xe excitation, at 172 nm) to eliminate contamination on the specimen surface. This system can also be used to hydrophilize a specimen surface.
