title: A universal metal and carbon evaporation accessory for electron microscopy techniques and a method for obtaining repeatable evaporations of platinum carbon.
abstract: A simple accessory has been designed which can be used for all types of metal or carbon evaporation in either an upwards or downwards direction as required. A method of preparing platinum carbon rod sources which makes possible successive repeatable evaporations of platinum carbon is also described.
