PELCO® Grids

for transmission electron microscopy

The PELCO® grids are usually somewhat thicker than similar TEM grids made by electro plating processes which makes them stiffer and easier to handle without the danger of bending, but still maintain a good definition of the grid bars. The wide rim on the PELCO® grids provides additional stiffness and minimizes interfering with the sample when picking up and handling the grids with tweezers. The popular PELCO® grids were introduced 40 years ago and have found a large user base in all disciplines of TEM. The grids have a shiny (smooth) finish on one side and matt (rough) or dull finish on the other side. Comprehensive selection of different grid styles is offered with standard diameter of 3.05mm. Available materials are Cu, Ni, Au, Al, Ti and Mo (for high temperature applications).

Packaging: Standard Cu grids 100grids/vial, except specials which are listed accordingly. Gold, Titanium, Molybdenum and Aluminum are packaged 25grids/vial.

pelco tem hole grids

Thickness: PELCO® grids are usually thicker than similar mesh grids.

Finish: Copper, Nickel and Gold grids have a matt finish on one side and a shiny finish on the other side.

Packaging: 100 grids per vial/tube, except for specials which are listed accordingly. Gold, Titanium, Molybdenum and Aluminum grids are packaged in 25's. Beryllium is packaged as a single grid. A new special treated black plastic vial that resists static, is used for Gilder Grids.

grid bars

From the drawing above, the hole and bar widths are shown. Sometimes "pitch" is used in this terminology and it is the equivalent of hole width plus bar width.
