Abstract

A sample holder for use with X-ray diffractometers with the capability to rotate the sample, as well as to adjust the position of the sample in the x, y, and z directions. Adjustment in the x direction is accomplished through loosening set screws, moving a platform, and retightening the set screws. Motion translators are used for adjustment in the y and z directions. An electric motor rotates the sample, and receives power from the diffractometer.

Fixture for supporting and aligning a sample to be analyzed in an X-ray diffraction apparatus

Patent Green, Lanny A. (Knoxville, TN); Heck, Jr., Joaquim L. (Knoxville, TN)

A fixture is provided for supporting and aligning small samples of material on a goniometer for X-ray diffraction analysis. A sample-containing capillary is accurately positioned for rotation in the X-ray beam by selectively adjusting the fixture to position the capillary relative to the x and y axes thereof to prevent wobble and position the sample along the z axis or the axis of rotation. By employing the subject fixture relatively small samples of materials can be analyzed in an X-ray diffraction apparatus previously limited to the analysis of much larger samples.

Tamper to delay motion and decrease ionization of a sample during short pulse x-ray imaging

Patent London, Richard A [Orinda, CA]; Szoke, ; Abraham, Hau-Riege [Fremont, CA]; ...

A system for x-ray imaging of a small sample comprising positioning a tamper so that it is operatively connected to the sample, directing short intense x-ray pulses onto the tamper and the sample, and detecting an image from the sample. The tamper delays the explosive motion of the sample during irradiation by the short intense x-ray pulses, thereby extending the time to obtain an x-ray image of the original structure of the sample.

Manipulator for rotating and translating a sample holder

Patent van de Water, Jeroen [Breugel, NL]; van den Oetelaar, Johannes [Eindhoven, NL]; Wagner, Raymond [Gorinchem, NL]; ...

A manipulator for use in e.g. a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is described, said manipulator capable of rotating and translating a sample holder (4). The manipulator clasps the round sample holder between two members (3A, 3B), said members mounted on actuators (2A, 2B). Moving the actuators in the same direction results in a translation of the sample holder, while moving the actuators in opposite directions results in a rotation of the sample holder.
