This is a reflected light micrograph of a polished, carbon coated ytterbium phosphate crystal.
The identifying etched label, which is a feature
of our standards, is invaluable for navigating in an electron beam instrument.
The stoichiometry of these crystals is outstanding relative to many other rare earth compounds.
The high quality polish is an indication of the durability of this material.

| Cautionary Note |
| The compositional and other data shown here are intended to convey typical values
for this item and do not necessarily correspond in detail to standard mounts supplied in the
past or to be supplied in the future. Items are changed from time to time as stock is
exhausted or alternate choices are preferred. These data should, however, give someone contemplating the purchase of an SPI microanalysis standard a fair indication of what they may expect to receive.
Records are kept of all mounts sold so that, should you lose your documentation at some time in the future, we will be happy to replace it at no charge.
