Leica EM SCD 500, The sputter coater is a device for coating of samples with a conductive surface layer of carbon, gold, tungsten or other suitable metal. The conductive coating is applied to minerals and glasses, which usually are insulating materials, in order to prevent charging of the sample under an electron beam such as in scanning electron microscopy or electron probe micro-analyzer
