I'm not sure what brand it is, and I don't have time to look it up
now. I'll try to get around to it the next time I'm in the lab.
We prepare gold-surfaces by sputtering gold onto freshly cleaved mica
sheets in a vacuum. The mica keeps the gold surface protected from
contamination until it is needed. In order to mount the gold on our

-(TODO). Instead of using mica to protect the gold surface, some labs

+Instead of using mica to protect the gold surface, some labs
evaporate the gold directly onto the coverslips immediately before
running an experiment\citep{carrion-vazquez99b}.
