WHY IS SEM IMAGING USED TO STUDY FACE MASKS?
SEM imaging is an ideal tool to check the homogeneity, compactness and average diameter of fibres in the different face mask layers. The SEM image show a 10nm gold coated non-woven polypropylene filtration layer at 1400x magnification. Some SEM manufacturers have developed specific software applications for a fully automatic fibre diameter distribution measurement.

LUXOR Gold Coater
The LUXORAu is an advanced, fully automated sputtering device that applies a fine grain gold coating from 1 to 100 nm thickness. This allows you to get the very best SEM imaging quality from your samples.
LUXOR’s unique A² technology generates a gold plasma and sprays it in a controlled and accurate manner, resulting in an extremely uniform, thin and homogeneous gold layer.
The LUXORAu is also renowned for its ease of use and quick, hassle-free operation.

LUXOR Platinum Coater
The LUXORPt is a highly innovative, fully automated sputtering device which applies a fine grain platinum or gold coating from 1 to 100 nm thickness.
LUXOR’s unique A² technology assures that the gold or platinum is sprayed in a highly controlled and precise manner, resulting in an extremely uniform, thin and homogeneous coating.
This allows your scanning electron microscope to show the best possible image quality.
