Any recommendations for a good system for coating samples for almost exclusively quantitative/WDS work? Anyone out there using a newer coater that you just don't like or consistently encountering problems with the coater? Anyone out there have a coater that you just really like or would heartily recommend? Thanks in advance ofr any information or insights!
