Abstract
Mica is proposed as a convenient substrate for SEM [scanning electron microscopy] specimens. Mechanically, mica is rigid and can be cut, punched and cleaved into suitable sizes. Compared to glass substrates, mica seems to be more charge resistant when irradiated with the same beam density in the microscope.Keywords
