When a small amount of Victawet is heated in a vacuum evaporator, with the
evaporation generally being done from a tungsten
basket, there is formed on the surface to be studied, a uniformly
applied, water soluble surface parting layer which aids in floating replicas
off of complex surfaces without obscuring details or fine structure.
Actually any instance that arises where replicas are difficult to lift off
becomes a candidate for the use of Victawet. And since so little is needed,
per evaporation, one vial might indeed be a lifetime supply! And as if this
was not enough, each 5 gm bottle is accompanied with
a complete set of use instructions.
Victawet for electron microscopy should not be confused with the commercial
Victawet grades, namely
Victawet 12 and Victawet 35 B.
