The Role of Gold Sputtering in Sample Preparation
Gold sputtering is a fundamental technique for preparing non-conductive samples for SEM and EDAX analysis. By depositing a thin, uniform layer of gold onto the sample's surface, this process enhances electrical conductivity, minimizes charging effects caused by the electron beam, and ensures high-resolution imaging and accurate elemental characterization. Our advanced Ion Sputter Coater (Model: G20) is central to this effort, enabling consistent and reliable sample preparation for superior analytical results.

Why Gold Sputtering is Important for SEM & EDAX

1. Improved Conductivity

• Non-conductive samples often accumulate charges during electron beam interaction, resulting in image distortion. A gold layer provides a conductive path, ensuring stable and clear imaging.

2. Enhanced Imaging Quality

• Gold sputtering reduces surface irregularities and charging artifacts, producing sharper and more detailed SEM images.

3. Accurate Elemental Analysis

• For EDAX, the conductive gold layer eliminates charging interference, enabling precise identification and quantification of elements.
