Vacuum Evaporator
Touchstone’s vacuum evaporator has multiple heating sources capable of taking small samples to over 18000 F (10000 C) in a vacuum while observing through the bell jar. Numerous thermal experiments can be performed in this apparatus and, of course, vacuum evaporation is possible producing very thin metal coatings on surfaces.
