Figure 2From: Optical visualization of ultrathin mica flakes on semitransparent gold substratesReflection optical microscopy, AFM topography, and conduction images of mica flakes on semitransparent gold. (a) Reflection optical microscopy image of a staircase mica flake with thicknesses in the 37- to 277-nm range on a semitransparent gold layer. (b) AFM topography and (c) conduction images of the same area. (d) Topographic and (e) current profiles along the lines indicated in (b) and (c), respectively.Back to article page
