Hello all-
We've found that recent batches of Quantifoil grids have hole sizes
that are significantly larger than the specifications. We're using
200 mesh Cu/Rh grids with either R2/2 foil or R1.2/1.3 foil,
carbon-coated at the factory. The most recent batch of R2/2 appears
to have holes that are approximately 2.7-2.8 microns in size, while
the R1.2/1.3 foil appear to actually have ~1.9 - 2.2 micron holes.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? Thank you for your time &
attention.
