What it is
Applications
The ACE 600 serves a wide range of coating applications in electron microscopy. The system produces evenly distributed thin films over the entire 100 mm stage. The ACE 600 enables multi-layer coatings in a single preparation process. The available sources support carbon thread deposition and sputter coating.[2]

Frequently asked questions
What is the ACE 600 used for?
The ACE 600 is a high-vacuum coating system for a wide range of applications. The ACE 600 is a sputter coater that can be adapted to a wide range of applications.[2]
Can the ACE 600 run more than one process without breaking vacuum?
Yes. The large configurable metal process chamber of the ACE 600 allows more than one process to be run in a single coater without breaking vacuum.[2]
What coating sources are available on the ACE 600?
The ACE 600 offers robust carbon thread and sputter coater sources. A sputter head can be combined with an advanced carbon thread evaporator for multi-layer coatings in a single preparation process.[2]
How does the ACE 600 achieve uniform films?
The optimized two-source concept with two angled ports and a rotating stage produces evenly distributed thin films over the entire 100 mm stage.[2]
How are samples loaded into the ACE 600?
Sensitive samples are loaded and unloaded safely via the front door.[2]
What kind of user interface does the ACE 600 have?
A workflow-based user interface provides fast access to relevant parameters.[2]
