Hi, Andy:
Theoretically, tungsten or chromium wire gives out thinner coating than gold
and platinum. It can go down to something like 2 nm or less. But the coating
needs cooling, water cooling is OK.
The former BalTech company, now under Leica, used to have both wire. I
bought both from them eight years ago, not sure the situation now.
Hope this helps
Best Regards,
Fang

Subject: [3dem] Metal wire for shadowing experiments
Dear all
I am looking for the correct metal (wire) for shadowing experiments to
determine the handedness of my samples (biopolymers). The grain size for
needs to be fairly small. I will be using TMV as a standard for calibration.
Please share your experience with such experiments and the source to
obtain/purchase the metal.
Best Wishes
Andy
