Quartz plates are thin, flat sheets made of pure quartz or fused silica, a high-purity glass material made by melting and fusing silicon dioxide (SiO2) crystals. Quartz plates are available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters. They are highly transparent, with excellent optical and thermal properties, and are resistant to chemical and thermal shock.
