Sample handling at the P14 beamline. Samples are mounted on SPINE-style pins. Mounting schemes for resin-embedded heavy-metal-stained samples, paraffin-embedded as well as wet samples mounted in liquid were established. SPINE pucks hold up to ten samples each. Up to 17 spine pucks (= 170 samples) can be loaded into the MARVIN sample changer. Samples are mounted using a robotic arm with a dedicated sample gripper. |
