Carbon-coated mica. A thin layer (approximately 50 Å) of carbon is deposited onto freshly cleaved mica using a vacuum evaporator. The thickness of the carbon can be estimated by monitoring the gray level on the filter paper (see red arrow). Also note the voids left by the holey carbon grids in the center of the image that were recoated along with the mica.
