RE: Cleaning grating TGT-01 (Chris Honig)

I wonder if replicating tape might work for you, available from SEM supply sources (e.g., SPI).  Place on surface and use acetone to soften and allow it to form over the topography.  Once it cures ( a few minutes) peel it off and it can remove lots of crud.

Cheers,

To whom is may concern,
We have a TGT-01 reverse tip grating of Si spikes that are about 750nm 
high, spaced on a 2-D grid at about 3 um separation. The grating has 
gradually accumulated dust and other crud over many years of use and it's 
ability to image spheres on cantilevers is steadily getting worse. Do you 
have a good procedure for cleaning this grating?

Thanks,
Chris Honig.
