Product Overview
The LUXOR Au is a fully automated metal coater that creates an extremely uniform, thin and homogeneous gold layer on your non-conductive material. Renowned for their speedy operation and ease of use, the LUXOR applies a fine gold coating from 1 to 100 nm thickness in a controlled and accurate manner allowing users to get the very best SEM imaging quality from samples.
BENEFITS OF METAL COATING
• Reduced microscope beam damage
• Increased thermal conduction
• Reduced sample charging (increased conduction)
• Improved secondary electron emission
• Reduced beam penetration with improved edge resolution
• Protects beam sensitive specimens
The LUXOR Au is typically used for SEM imaging applications where sample charging might be an issue. Metal coatings created using LUXOR strongly reduce sample charging by increasing conduction. They improve secondary electron emission, allowing the microscope’s detectors to pick up more hi-res imaging details. Metal coatings also reduce beam penetration, which significantly improves edge resolution and prevent sensitive samples from being damaged.
The unique ‘upside down’ design of the LUXOR Au makes sure that loose particles will be removed during the coating process which helps to protect the SEM from contamination and damage.

BENEFITS
UNIQUE A² TECHNOLOGY
Generate remarkably uniform, thin and homogeneous gold or platinum coatings for improved SEM analysis.
UPSIDE DOWN DESIGN
Process up to six samples at once using the unique design. Allows for easy, accessible sample loading and ensures any loose particles are removed during the coating process.
COMPLETELY AUTOMATED
Highly innovative, fully automated metal coating system applies a fine grain platinum or gold coating from 1 to 100 nm thickness. Built in touch screen – simply set thickness and push start.
TRIPLE FUNCTIONALITY
More than just a gold coater. It also offers a preset vacuum level mode to protect sensitive samples and provides a time-based sample drying mode.
ROBUST DESIGN, MADE IN GERMANY
With a modest footprint and elegant appearance, the LUXOR Au is a robust, sturdy system designed to be used intensively and run hassle-free for the life of the system.
APPLICATIONS
LUXOR’s highly advanced metal coaters (Au/Pt) are extensively used for many applications within the field of materials science – such as pharma, life science,
electronics, polymers, ceramics, as well as for academic purposes.
ACCESSORIES
STANDARD SAMPLE PREPARATION STATION
The LUXOR standard sample preparation station can simultaneously hold up to 6 x 12 mm sample stubs for metal coating. It is an easily accessible sample preparation table with 3 elastomer feet that also acts as the lid for the coating reactor.
SAMPLE HOLDER FOR MOUNTED/EMBEDDED SAMPLES
The LUXOR sample holder for mounted/embedded samples can hold all types of
samples that are mounted or embedded into resins with diameter ranging from 25 mm to 40 mm and height from 10 mm to 50 mm.
LUXOR GOLD TARGET
Gold target Ø 30 mm, thickness 100 μm (99,999% purity) for use with both LUXOR Au and LUXOR Pt
