[3DEM] carbon coating on EMS 100 glow discharge unit

[Terje Dokland]

Dear Lisa,
I know  that Emitech sells a glow discharge attachment (K350) for their 
carbon coaters (K450X and K950X) but I didn't realize they also sell a 
carbon coating attachment for the K100X glow discharger? We have the 
glow discharge unit so I'd be interested in such an attachment.

However, I wouldn't expect the quality of the films to be that good, as 
the glow discharge unit only runs on relatively poor vacuum, unlike the 
turbo pumped K950. If you are concerned about the quality of the film, 
you would probably want to get the K950 with the glow attachment, if 
you can afford it...
