Nanostructured Coatings Co. (NSC) is a designer and manufacturer of high quality and reliable vacuum coating systems. The company was established in 2005 with the principal objective of supplying economically priced, high quality vacuum deposition systems for universities and research centers. Since the start, NSC has taken proactive actions to meet the needs for state-of the-art equipment in laboratories conducting cutting-edge research. This was first begun with the introduction of large versatile systems of VCS100F generation, and soon reached a climax with the market-leading desktop series of vacuum coating systems; especially with the combined sputter-carbon coater for SEM sample preparation and Microanalysis. The easy-to-function desktop coaters are being widely used in numerous applications such as SEM imaging, nanotechnology, semiconductors, optoelectronics, solar energy, etc.
