Sample Specifications
In order to correctly measure samples in the TAC7 instrument, the following specifications and
recommendations are provided.
Sample Preparation
To prepare a sample, a portion of the sample is selected for measurement (measured area). If
the original sample is too large, the sample will need to be cut to fit the dimensions. After the
measurement, a region of interest is selected digitally within the measured area for processing.
Condition
As the sample will be captured in great detail, we recommend that:
•
Your original sample should be as large as possible. It may be necessary to cut the sample
to the following size recommendations.
•
The measured area must be:
o
Clean
o
Stable (i.e., will not significantly change in response to heat, pressure or movement)
o
Free from defects
•
The measured area must have a flat surface at the sample presentation plane.
•
Samples provided to the scanning surface must also be flat on the back so that custom
fixtures are not necessary.
•
Mounted samples can be used if they adhere to the requirements as a whole.
•
Labels and other identification should not be visible on the region of interest.
•
Materials must have a well-defined surface to generate good results in the fitting process.
