AFM substrates, V1 grade mica sheets
Highest quality Grade V1
0.15 to 0.177mm (0.006 - 0.007 in.) thick
Sheets interleaved
Various sizes
Freshly cleaved muscovite mica surfaces have an outstanding even surface, are optically flat, clear, transparent, scratchless and free from fingerprints. They are very useful in electron microscopy for production of carbon support films, particle imaging, cell growing and thin film coating research. Muscovite mica surface is also suitable as substrates for high resolution atomic force microscopy studies such as DNA, DNA-protein and thin films.
Cleaving mica involves insertion of a sharp edge or point into an edge or corner of the sheet and gently prying apart the leaves. A good sharp razor blade edge will do the job, and, in some cases, a sharp pointed tweezer may accomplish this. The freshly exposed micro surface should be used immediately after cleaving to take advantage of the clean and even surface. The muscovite mica is die cut to the sizes offered. The thickness of the mica sheets varies between 0.18 - 0.25mm which yields much thinner, uniform sheets.
