Abstract
A method for making a TEM micro-grid is provided. The method includes the following steps. A carrier, a carbon nanotube structure, and a protector are provided. The carrier defines a first through opening. The protector defines a second through opening. The protector, the carbon nanotube structure and the carrier are stacked such that the carbon nanotube structure is located between the carrier and the protector. The second through opening at least partly overlaps with the first through opening. The carrier and the protector are welded with each other.
Claims20
A method for making a transmission electron microscope micro-grid, comprising:
- (a) providing a carrier, a carbon nanotube structure, and a protector, wherein the carrier comprises a first frame, the first frame has a substantially flat surface and defines a first through opening, the protector comprises a second frame, and the second frame has a curved surface and defines a second through opening;
- (b) stacking the protector, the carbon nanotube structure, and the carrier to locate the carbon nanotube structure between the carrier and the protector, wherein the flat surface faces the curved surface, and the first through opening at least partly overlaps with the second through opening;
- and
- (c) welding the carrier and the protector.
A method for making multiple transmission electron microscope micro-grids, comprising:
- (a) providing a plurality of carriers, a carbon nanotube structure, and a plurality of protectors, wherein the carriers is laid on a substrate and separated from each other, each of the carriers comprises a first frame and defines a first through opening, and each of the protectors comprises a second frame and defines a second through opening;
- (b) applying the carbon nanotube structure on the first through opening of each of the carriers;
- (c) stacking the protectors on the carriers with the carbon nanotube structure thereon one by one, to locate the carbon nanotube structure between the carriers and the protectors, and the flat surface faces the curved surface;
- (d) removing the carbon nanotube structure between every two adjacent carriers to form a carbon nanotube supporter located on each of the carriers;
- and
- (e) welding each of the protectors with one of the carriers corresponding to the protector.
