Sample Preparation for Powder X-ray Diffraction

This video, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, covers the sample preparation process for powder X-ray diffraction. During the video, Nicole Wonderling from Pennsylvania State University demonstrates several different methods used to prepare samples for X-ray diffraction measurements, discussing the upsides and downsides of each. Also discussed is specimen displacement.

The video runs 36:49 minutes in length. Also included is an audio version of the video.
