βThe biggest technical obstacle was to keep the millimeter thin strip-shaped niobium sample at a constant temperature (...) while simultaneously applying a current about 5 times larger that household sockets are designed for"
A fantastic achievement a #SampleEnvironment win!ππΎ
A bright idea!π‘
A custom-made cell developed @isisneutronmuon enables samples to be illuminated whilst in the #neutron beam! The new #SampleEnvironment could be used to study a variety of light-sensitive materials, including #proteins.
How do you measure something that is only present when illuminated inside a dark beamline sample space? π¦
Speak to our engineers!
A new sample cell that can be used for illumination in situ has been developed at ISIS, and successfully used on Tosca: isis.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/SH21_Iβ¦
