Two different Sample Geometries can be used:
-
Flat - aluminium alloy cans of 40mm x 40mm for powders, liquids or films, with varying thicknesses (0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 2 mm)
-
Annular - aluminium alloy cans 50mm tall for powders, liquids or films, with varying thicknesses (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mm)
- Annular with gas loading capabilities (please ask your local contact)
These most commonly used Sample Environment are given below. For more information see the sample environment page or contact the instrument scientist.
