Description
Summary:An x-ray confinement cell is described in this article. Advantages over the previous generation x-ray surface forces apparatus include a stiffer shearing mechanism and improved ease of operation. This completely new device has also been optimized for x-ray diffraction studies of shearing complex fluids under confining gaps ranging from several hundred angstroms to millimeters.
