[coccoliths] Spray mounter for preparing nannofossil samples

[Lees, Jackie]

does the sprayer get rid of the clay, because if not, surely the clay is going to obscure the nannos...
Cheers,
Jackie

Happy 2016 everyone!

I used the spraying technique to prepare samples during my PhD and now would like to use it again to prepare some clay-rich samples for SEM analysis. When I checked the Ernest Fullam website to order the EFFA Spray Mounter, I discovered that they have gone out of business. Ted Pella took over most of their line, but when I called, the sales rep told me that they do not carry the spray mounter and the technicians didn't know of anyone selling something similar.

Do any of you know of another spray mounter that could work? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Denise
