Sample preparation facility


Microdrilling system


Microscope and sample loading facility.

In addition, a sample polishing and lapidary equipment is available.  A cryogenic loading system has also been constructed for loading condensible gases, such as argon, into the diamond cell for use as pressure transmitting media.   We also have a powder x-ray diffraction laboratory containing two Scintag powder diffractometers for sample characterization.  Additional facilities, including microprobe, SEM, and TEM are available in the Imaging and Analysis Center of the  Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM).
