The universal sample holders of microanalytical instruments of FIB, TEM, NanoSIMS, and STXM-NEXAFS for the coordinated analysis of extraterrestrial materials
Abstract:We developed universal sample holders (the Kochi grid, Kochi clamp, and Okazaki cell) and a transfer vessel (facility-to-facility transfer container (FFTC)) to analyze sensitive and fragile samples, such as extremely small extraterrestrial materials. The holders and container prevent degradation, contamination due to terrestrial atmosphere (water vapor and oxygen gas) and small particles, as well as mechanical sample damages. The FFTC can isolate the samples from the effects of the atmosphere for more than a w… Show more
