Introduced bel
ow
are some typical sample mounting methods.
I Powder sample
Powder samples are filled into the indentation
of
the glass
or
aluminum sample
ho
ld
ers and then inserted into the fixed sample platform
or
the height reference
sample plate.
(Fixed sample platform) (Height reference sample plate)
Holding powder samples
I Bulk sample
lfthe
si
ze
of
a bulk sample fits within the window
of
the aluminum sample
holder, the
sa
mple shou
ld
be secured in place (by us
in
g compounds, etc.) on the
alu
min
um sample holder and then inserted into the fixed
sa
mple platform
or
height reference sample plate.
If
the size
of
the sample is large, a 4-inch wafer sample plate, 6-inch wafer
sa
mple plate,
or
8-inch wafer sample plate should be used to mount the sample.
In this case, the sample should be placed so that the measurement sam
pl
e surface
is para
ll
el to the sample plate.
For
details, see Wafer sample plate and sample spacer ( optional).
Sample for transmission SAXS measurements
Fibrous and film samples shou
ld
be mounted by clamping it to the transmission
SAXS samp
le
ho
ld
er, securing it in place, then
in
serting it into a sample holder
(Transmission SAXS
sa
mple holder and transmi
ss
ion SAXS sample plate are
included with the SAXS unit (optional: 2680J
111
)).
