| General: Dedicated and highly optimized hardware for sample exchange All operations are optimized for highest possible throughput Sample exchange in approx. 2 minutes Perfect fit into desktop beamline®, compact design Liquid sample transfer Quick and precise tranfer of sample from storage system onto goniometer head Sample stays submerged in liquid nitrogen during entire transfer procedure Special transfer containers extend time beyond 60 sec. before nitrogen starts boiling Usage of standard cryo vials Screw-caps or (optional) magnetic vials Large allowances for pin size and shape Length and style of the pin holding the sample may vary Long term operation Up to 7 days autonomous operation without user intervention Low icing rates achieved by special anti-icing mechanisms Automatic liquid nitrogen refill Two-chambered dewar allows for smooth refill from supplying dewar during operation Storage carousel for up to 19 samples Carousel can easily be loaded or unloaded by hand Automatic positioning of samples High speed tp-axis for quick centering Integrated automatic centering gear (x,y,z) Automatic crystal finding and centering routines Automatic interpretation of crystal pictures captured by video camera of desktop beamline" Semi-automatic centering option - manual intervention possible Seamless integration of sample changer control into data collection software Sample changing is just one more parameter for data collection Support of mar345 image plate and mar©©D detector Interface to AWT©mar data processing for fully automatic selection of suitable crystals |
