Sample Loading Using FDCS/CC
Crucible Carrier and Quartz Crucible
This method is used if you are preparing the sam-
ple away from the FDCS196 stage.
The crucible carrier has two spring clips to hold
the crucible flat against the silver block. This is
to ensure good thermal contact.
To load the quartz crucible into the carrier, lift the
two spring clips about 2mm upward and slide the
crucible in to the holder.
Release the two spring clips to hold the Crucible
in place.
Use a pair of tweezers to place a Shim Spacer
inside the Quartz Crucible.
