Abstract
The casimir pressure on a non ideal conducting slab is calculated. Using a simple model for the conductivity according to which the slab is perfectly conducting at frequencies below plasma frequency omega_p and perfectly transparent above such frequency, it is found that the vacuum pressure on each surface of the slab is (h omega_p^4)/(24 pi^2 c^3) which is finite without removal of any divergence
