NB: These films are just examples on how it is possible to prepare the samples, and not necessarily the best method for your sample!

Using the standard sample holders: Normal sample holders
Using the Si cavity holders: Preparation cavity holders
Using the flat Si holders: Preparation Si holders
- Method nr 1, suspension in ethanol (most common)
- Method nr 2, glass rod
Using the Back loaders: Preparation Back loader holders
Using Kapton tape: Preparation Kapton holders
- Used for materials and chemicals with special risks such as carcinogenic and mutagenic chemicals, and nanomaterials. For more information, read Safe handling of chemicals in the XRD-lab
Using the deep sample holders and clay: Deep sample holders
- Used for solid samples

Which angles to scan (coming!)
Which step size to use (coming!)
How long time to measure (coming!)
Which divergence slits to use:
- Opening degree: (coming!)
- Fixed vs. variable slit:
  - Do NOT use variable slit for cobalt (due to fluorescence)!
  - Video showing quick scan of a flourescent screen, first using fixed slit, then variable slit (V6). Fixed vs variable (6 mm) divergence slit
