[labnetwork] Sharpie for charged particle beams

[Sabaa Rashid]

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if you ever worked with a Sharpie marker that is conductive and has the right viscosity to deliver a reasonable thickness as a protective layer for generating cross-sections for example using a focussed ion beam.

I have heard mixed reviews on ink pigments, some recommend using specific colours and others recommend avoiding some colours. Can you please share any experiences you had working with Sharpie markers/colours/tip thickness/other marker brands for this purpose?



Thanks,
