Sample carrier for X=ray diffractometer - has variable vol. sample chamber with threaded base plate or variable thickness plate in press fitting

摘要

A sample carrier for an x-ray diffractometer consists of a sample carrier frame (1) and base plate (2) with a vol. for the sample variable by altering the height of the base plate. The frame has a sample carrier vol. with an internal thread (25), the base plate having a corresp. external thread (27). Alternatively the frame has a sample vol. in the form of a press fitting associated with a variable thickness base plate and corresp. circumference. ADVNATAGE - Can accept samples of different vol. and consistency and employs back loading technique.
