Natural Mica Substrate for AFM/SEM Microscopy

Natural Mica Substrate Sheets for AFM/SEM Microscopy

Natural muscovite mica sheets are high-quality crystalline substrates processed through precision peeling and cutting. Available as 11 × 11 mm square sheets (0.1 mm thick), pack of 10.

Key Specifications:
– Format: Square sheet, 11 × 11 mm
– Material: High-purity Natural Muscovite Mica [KAl₂(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂]
– Thickness: 0.1 mm (can be peeled to 0.01–0.03 mm)
– Max Operating Temperature: 600°C
– Pack Size: 10 pcs/pack

Applications:
– AFM Substrate: Atomically flat reference surface for tip calibration and nanoscale imaging
– SEM/TEM: Flat, charge-neutral substrate for biological and nanomaterial imaging
– Surface Science: Standard substrate for protein adsorption, DNA deposition, and thin-film studies
– Electronic Insulation: TO-220, TO-3P, and other power component thermal pads
– Thermal Engineering: High-temperature furnace fixtures and heating elements

Notes:
– Freshly cleave with tape before use for an atomically clean surface
– Square format suited for corner-referenced mask alignment and multi-sample holders
– For synthetic fluorophlogopite mica (higher purity, higher temperature), see Mica-1-1
