Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of sample environment equipment will be available?
Consult the sample environment web page.
How should samples be prepared?
Currently, annular cans are being used to create a cylindrical surface of liquid or to simply pack solids or powders inside. When annular cans are impractical, flat-plate sample holders can be used.
