Natural Mica Disc, 10 pcs/pack

Natural Mica Disc Substrates for AFM/SEM Microscopy

Natural muscovite mica discs are crystalline circular substrates, cut for microscopy sample holders. Available as Dia. 13 × 0.38 mm discs, pack of 10.

Key Specifications:
– Format: Circular disc, Dia. 13 mm
– Material: Natural Muscovite Mica [KAl₂(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂]
– Thickness: 0.38 mm (standard TEM support disc thickness)
– Max Operating Temperature: 600°C
– Pack Size: 10 pcs/pack

Applications:
– TEM Support Disc: Dia. 13mm format fits standard TEM sample holders and disc grids
– AFM Substrate: Atomically flat reference surface for tip calibration and nanoscale imaging
– STM Baseline: Flat, conductive-free reference substrate for scanning tunneling microscopy
– Protein Adsorption: Standard disc substrate for biomolecule deposition and SPM imaging
– DNA Imaging: Freshly cleaved surface for tapping-mode AFM of nucleic acids
– Nanoparticle Studies: Clean flat surface for nanoparticle size and distribution analysis

Notes:
– Freshly cleave with tape before use for an atomically clean surface
– Disc format (Dia. 13mm) fits circular AFM stub mounts and standard TEM holders
