Abstract
A coater is provided for depositing a coating onto a sequence of samples to be analyzed in a microscope. The coater includes a process chamber to maintain a low-pressure vacuum or controlled gaseous environment at a deposition region inside the process chamber, a sample conveyor to support and convey samples through the deposition region, an evaporant supply to vaporize material from an evaporant source onto the samples at the deposition region, and a controller to control one or more operations of the coater.
