[labnetwork] Nanoscribe consumables

[N . Shane Patrick]

Hello Esta,

We have a relatively recent installation of one of these tools ourselves, and while here for setup the representative basically recommended microscope cover slides could be used if you want to do things on the cheap. The biggest issue is to ensure they are as clean as possible to help ensure adhesion to the substrate. I could also imagine issues with flatness and glass purity if those are issues for your project.

Please note, however, this is all hearsay on my part, as we haven’t had to procure any of these ourselves at this point.
