USAXS Sample Holders

The USAXS instrument can accept a variety of relatively large and complex sample holders. The sample-to-analyzer crystal distance can be relatively large without negative influence on the measured data. Therefore it is possible to mount complicated instrumentation in place of the sample. We provide a couple basic types of sample holders for solids and liquids, as shown. For other sample holders and apparatus, it is best to contact the instrument scientist.
