6.1 Powder Sample Preparation

Confidential, limited rights
PN AA83858 | Revision A | 13-Jun-2019
In order to prepare your sample, you will need a powder mount, a
spatula, a glass slide (as used for microscopes) and a sample cup.
If the powder to be measured is too coarse, it is necessary to grind
it a bit using a small mortar.
Fill the sample powder cup with the powder.
Use a glass slide to make the surface flat and homogeneous.
The surface of the powder must not exceed the level of the
surface of the powder mount, in order to avoid line displacement
error due to the height error.
