Sample plate

We use Omicron flag-style sample plate and the sample is glued on it either using both-side copper tape (if you are not cleaving the sample) or some conductive epoxy (example: Epotek H21D conductive epoxy, or Epotek E4110 conductive epoxy). Currently we have stainless steel and copper sample plates, and if you need, we can ship a few plates to the your address. For this, the you must approach the beamline responsible atleast one month ahead of the scheduled beamtime.

The sample gluing on the sample plate must be done within one of the shaded regions depending on the choice of cryostat head during experiment. You may glue multiple samples in one sample plate (if the azimuth cryo-head is not used), however, it is recommended to follow the orientation as shown in the figure.
