Other uses include diaphragms for oxygen-breathing equipment, marker dials for navigation compasses, optical filters, pyrometers, thermal regulators, stove and kerosene heater windows, and micathermic heater elements.
Specialized applications for sheet mica are found in aerospace components in air -, ground -, and sea-launched missile systems, laser devices, medical electronics and radar systems.
Mica is mechanically stable in micrometer-thin sheets which are relatively transparent to radiation ( such as alpha particles ) while being impervious to most gases.
