Henniker specialises in advanced, compact plasma cleaners that deliver precision surface cleaning for electron microscopy applications, ensuring reduced contamination and sharper, more reliable results.
Our versatile systems are compatible with major TEM and SEM sample holders, offering fully automated control and gentle, low-power operation. Experience increased measurement stability, minimised common sources of error, and simplified sample preparation backed by robust, user-friendly technology that adapts to your research needs.

Our low-cost plasma cleaners/plasma ashers for SEM & TEM sample holders are designed specifically for fast and efficient cleaning in microscopy.
The plasma cleaner/plasma asher range for microscopy are fully automated bench-top plasma cleaners that come with standard adapters which are suitable for the sample holders supplied with all the major microscope manufacturers. The plasma output power is fully variable over the range 0-100W, resulting in a very controllable & gentle cleaning process. Common sources of error inside the microscope are clearly reduced with plasma cleaning and the dwell time during the measurement is significantly increased.
