MICROPATTERNING PHOTOMASK

Choose the shape you want for micropatterning experiment

4Dcell micropatterning quartz mask

The 4Dcell photomask is a quartz mask with chromium coating used for printing micropatterns on glass slides, with deep UV.

> HIGHLY PRECISE DESIGN

Micropatterns of 10 to 100 µm with 1 µm resolution and 0.25 µm accuracy

> EASY POSITIONNING OF THE GLASS SLIDES

Alignment marks on the edges to help placing the slides

> DIVERSITY OF ANALYSIS

Eight areas, with approximately 42 sub-areas fully observable with a 10x objective field

HOW TO HANDLE YOUR MICROPATTERNING PHOTOMASK

Micropatterning photomask

FEATURES & BENEFITS

The micropatterning photomask is sold in the micropatterning kit and by itself to make your own micropatterns. It is a 6 cm x 6 cm square that can be used with the 4Dcell Masker for the printing step of the micropatterns.

The standard shapes offered by 4Dcell are: disks, lines, squares, rectangles, triangles and grids.
You can also ask for a customized shape that we can design for you. The formats accepted for the design of a customized photomask are the following: DXF, GDSII, EPS or PDF.
