Graticules has been manufacturing TEM grids for over 50 years and is distinguished by the exceptional range of materials we work with. We produce grids in copper, copper/rhodium, nickel, gold, molybdenum, titanium, aluminium, and stainless steel, all manufactured to the exacting standards demanded by today’s TEM users.
Our standard specimen support grids for Electron Microscopy (EM) sciences — including Maxtaform, Embra, Brandsma, and our Value range — are available in square mesh, hexagonal mesh, finder, index, hole, slot, and specialist patterns, across a wide selection of materials to suit specific applications. All Graticules Optics TEM grids (excluding the Value range) are 100% inspected, ensuring that every grid taken from the vial is ready for use.
TEM grids can be purchased through specialist electron microscopy suppliers worldwide. Contact us with your location and we will recommend your local distributor.
Cryo-EM gold grids are a particular speciality, offering the precision and quality required for advanced applications.
For OEM companies and users requiring custom-made grids, bespoke lift-out grids (FIB grids and lamella carriers), DMC-marked grids, or SEMI E177 types, please contact us directly to discuss your specifications.
We also supply thin film–coated grids, including Carbon, Formvar, and Formvar/Carbon options.
