KODAK Electron Micrography Films

KODAK Electron Micrography Films are specially engineered to produce high-quality images in Transmission Electron Micrography (TEM) or electron diffraction studies.

Each KODAK EM film type offers considerable latitude in performance, offering the flexibility to select one film for most, if not all applications. KODAK Electron Micrography films are best suited for medium-energy electrons (40 to 100 kv), but acceptable results can also be obtained at higher electron levels.

KODAK Electron Micrography film offers two choices for capturing quality images in the transmission electron microscope.

• KODAK Electron Micrography Film 4489 has approximately half the speed of KODAK Electron Image Film SO-163 film, but exhibits less curl and shorter pump-down times. Coated on a 7mils Estar support, KODAK Electron Microscope Film offers exceptional dimensional stability and eliminates the use of traditional glass support products.
  
  
• KODAK Electron Image Film SO-163 offers broad exposure and development ranges. This enables a single film to collect many electrons (with improvements in signal-to-noise ratio), or collect fewer electrons in exposure-limiting situations (when graininess is a reasonable trade-off for higher speed).

KODAK Electron Image Film SO-163 is two times faster than KODAK Electron Microscope Film 4489 Film; however, requires longer pump-down times and shows greater film curl. When using KODAK Electron Image Film SO-163 for the first time, it is recommended that you recalibrate your microscope exposure.
