Brain Slice Sample Holder Group 7 Jordan Moi Joshua Erikson Ho Nam Chan
Client Dr. Helen Nichol • Associate Professor • Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology • University of Saskatchewan
Problem • Sliding • Photons are absorbed and Scattered • Time Consuming • Potential Bio-Hazard • Not Professional
Objective • To design a sample holder that will improve the resolution and accuracy of the rapid scanning x-ray fluorescence technique.
Constraints • Sample must be mounted vertically for at least 6 hours without sliding. • Contain samples of varying dimensions. • Sample must be ready for scanning before it is packed for transportation. • Easy and fast to load and clean. • All components must be metal free. • Compatible with existing stages. • Budget.
Deliverables • Prototype • Procedure • Written Report • Engineering Drawings
Extras • Average brain slice mass: 150g (based on 1.0cm thickness)
