Hello,

I am working on researching new ways to insulate some scanning coils on the SEM I work on. Currently we use Kapton to insulate the wires but it becomes brittle and wears over time easily. I am looking for alternatives to using Kapton for the scanning coils. Any ideas and suggestions?

Unfortunately we are using the wires as induction coils to form a field that can be used to raster scan a sample. So beads are a little out of the question, especially since the wire is 39 gauge.
