ROTARY SUPPORT AND APPARATUS USED FOR THE MULTIPLE SPECTROSCOPIC CHARACTERISATION OF SAMPLES OF SOLID MATERIALS

摘要

The invention relates to a rotary support which is used to support numerous samples of solid materials so that said materials can be characterised by means of electroscopy. The inventive support is provided with housings, with a sample being deposited in each housing, and a sample-bearing surface comprising the aforementioned sample housings, each housing being located in a pre-determined position. Said support can be used in an apparatus comprising means of applying controlled radiation to the samples, means of detecting and registering at least one first effect produced by the radiation on the samples, means of controlling at least one parameter of the apparatus, said parameter being selected from temperature, pressure and atmosphere, and actuation means which are used to rotate the support in a controlled manner.
