Gold Coated Microscope Slides

Where can I purchase microscope slides coated with 100nm gold (preferably on 5 nm of chromium) for research purposes?

A. Considering the combination and thickness of layers, you may be looking for a sputter deposition (PVD) process. Look for a sputter deposition [shop].
