Electron Microscopy Sciences 12 mm Mica Sheets V1

Electron Microscopy Sciences Ems mica sheets offer a clean surface for em applications, carbon filming and particle spraying, as well as for afm applications. There are two types of mica: muscovite and phlogopite. Generally, one differs from the other by color (muscovite is ruby, green or white; phlogopite is amber, yellow, or silver). The maximum operating temperature for muscovite is about 500-600 degree c and for phlogopite is about 800-900 degree c. Our line consists of high quality muscovite mica. This mica peels off very thin up to 0.0001" uniform layers, exposing "virgin" mica upon splitting. Muscovite, potash type mica, sometimes known as granitic mica, is the best of all micas in dielectric strength, perfection of cleavage, and transparency. It has the chemical formula: h2kai3(si04)3. - EMS
