About Aluminum Grids

Square Mesh Aluminum Specimen GridAmerican Elements manufactures Aluminum Grids for specimen support in transmission elecron microscopy (TEM). Our standard TEM grids are 3.05 mm in diameter with thicknesses varying from 10-25 µm in increments from 50 mesh - 600 mesh and can be produced up to 2000 mesh. Grid types include square, circular, hexagonal, and rectangular mesh, slot bar, parallel bar, thin bar/thick bar, slot hole, and single hole, and can be tabbed or folding. We can produce grids with a range of coating materials including thin and thick carbon, holey carbon, lacey carbon, gold, platinum, palladium, silicon nitride, silicon monoxide, silicon dioxide, and graphene oxide. We can also produce materials to customer specifications by request, in addition to custom compositions for commercial and research applications and new proprietary technologies. Typical and custom packaging is available, as is additional research, technical and safety (SDS) data.

See more Aluminum products. Aluminum (or Aluminium) (atomic symbol: Al, atomic number: 13) is a Block P, Group 13, Period 3 element with an atomic weight of 26.9815386. It is the third most abundant element in the earth's crust and the most abundant metallic element. Aluminum Bohr Model Aluminum's name is derived from alumina, the mineral from which Sir Humphrey Davy attempted to refine it from in 1812. Aluminum was first predicted by Antoine Lavoisier 1787 and first isolated by Hans Christian Øersted in 1825. Aluminum is a silvery gray metal that possesses many desirable characteristics. It is light, nonmagnetic and non-sparking. It stands second among metals in the scale of malleability, and sixth in ductility. It is extensively used in many industrial applications where a strong, light, easily constructed material is needed. Elemental AluminumAlthough it has only 60% of the electrical conductivity of copper, it is used in electrical transmission lines because of its light weight. Pure aluminum is soft and lacks strength, but alloyed with small amounts of copper, magnesium, silicon, manganese, or other elements, it imparts a variety of useful properties.
