Compression-tension cell with sample manipulator for in situ X-ray nanotomography experiments.

ABSTRACT: In situ X-ray nanotomography experiments where tensile or compressive force is applied on the sample require specialized equipment. A compression-tension device with fluid flow-through capability has been designed for X-ray nanotomography beamlines. The compression-tension cell is equipped with a triaxial stage for sample alignment and a high sensitivity loadcell for measurement of applied force. To handle the <100 µm samples used for X-ray nanotomography imaging and for loading samples on the compression-tension cell a sample manipulator has been built. The sample manipulator is capable of selecting a single <100 µm particle for nanotomography scanning while viewing multiple samples under an optical microscope. To test the functionality of these two devices an initial compression experime
