This device mounts a sample into a capillary, which then mounts the capillary in the dedicated plug insert and in placed into the motor insert and then the sample is pushed out to be 3-D imaged.
There are four different inserts that can be used with this deice, which allow different samples to be imaged. The four inserts will be interchangeable with the platform.
The goal of this post is to properly show how to mount the platform and install the device properly.
Our device fits into the DT-34 Rotation Stage eqipment. The DT-34 is intended for single-axis positioning, adjusting and rotation of loads around an axis at various velocities. The DT-34 can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
The holder fits into the left side of the motor first, which then recieves different plugs into it.
A capillary device is then placed into the plug, which slides all the way through the motor device to be imaged.
After the capillary is placed into the plug, the gel agrogate is pushed out of the other capillary to be imaged.
