SEM Images of
Silver Foil
These SEM
(scanning electron microscope) images are of fine silver foil for use
as audio conductors. The image on the left is of "normal" rolled silver
foil. The image on the right is of heat treated silver foil.
The foil was heated to approx 50 degrees below melting point and kept at this temperature for many hours. The "normal" rolled silver foil exhibits
very little ordered structure. By comparison the special heat treated
silver foil exhibits large crystal structures.
