Making custom sample holders

for the muon veto cryostat insert

The muon veto cryostat insert can accept special purpose sample holders attached to the sample rod. The thermometers are not part of the sample holder, but are held in a copper themometry block, to which the sample holder is attached.

[mounting and thermometry block]

The sample holder attaches to the block by 4 screws, #2-56, in the pattern shown. Actually, since the threaded holes are part of the sample holder, equivalent metric screws could be used if you want to annoy everybody else.

The face of the mounting block is nominally 24 mm (0.95 inch) from the beam center.
