Sample preparations
NB: These films are just examples on how it is possible to prepare the samples, and not necessarily the best method for your sample!
Short instruction videos for how to use different sample holders
- Using the standard sample holders:

Normal sample holders - Using the Si cavity holders: Preparation cavity holders
- Using the flat Si holders: Preparation Si holders
- Method 1, suspension in ethanol
- Method 2, glass rod
- Using the Back loaders: Preparation Back loader holders
- Using Kapton tape: Preparation Kapton holders
- Used for materials and chemicals with special risks such as carcinogenic and mutagenic chemicals, and nanomaterials. For more information, read Safe handling of chemicals in the XRD-lab
