==Configuration==
== Configuration ==
* Standard sputter coater
* Sputter coater with Au/Pd target
* Carbon arc attachment for carbon deposition
* Carbon arc attachment for carbon deposition
==Status==
== Status ==
* Requires argon for operation. Preferably high purity argon.
* The sputter coater was donated along with all related equipment for the SEM to a science based makerspace The Analytics Lounge, NFP.
* Their website is http://www.analyticslounge.org/
* Changing the vacuum oil would be a good idea.

Manual scans for the sputter coater are available, as is a manual for a similar but not identical model of the carbon arc deposition system. A location to drop them is needed.

|Ryan Pierce and Fitterdave
|Removed flow gauge from argon regulator. It was leaking, and we suspect this was because it was designed to handle far lower pressures than even the 5 PSI currently I had been using.

|Replaced oil with high vacuum oil that came with the SEM. Note that Fitterdave changed out a gasket on the argon flow meter, but it still has a leak as tested by Ryan. Also put panels back on.

|Ryan Pierce
|Replaced HV power supply with one shipped from the manufacturer as a former refurb. New power supply works. A plasma can be maintained by adjusting gas pressure. It is definitely sputter coating. Also replaced power cord. (Note: it uses a standard extension cord. Borrowed one but it is a bit long.)

|Tried using this after cleaning. Vacuum could only get down to 30-40 millitorr. The power supply seemed to need excessive amperage just to maintain a plasma, and that was with low voltage. Then something inside the power supply exploded with a burning smell.
