Hi all, we have a Bal-Tec SCD 050 sputter which we use to coat a bit of gold on samples for SEM analysis. The o-ring that is inserted in the groove in the lid, keeps falling out and makes the use of the device unpleasant/impractical. I though a bit of vacuum pump oil might help to keep the o-ring in place (by sheer surface tension). Good idea or bad idea? m _______________________________________________ Hosted by the MEMS and Nanotechnology Exchange, the country's leading provider of MEMS and Nanotechnology design and fabrication services.
