Machined cartridge for an EPMA to increase sample throughput and prevent dislodged pieces.
An EPMA is an Electron Probe Microanalyzer, it shoots tiny things at stuff and tells you what it's made of.
The machine apparently needs to be built around each sample at like a couple hours each time for some reason.
They were running 1 sample at a time before and if it moves then the whole operation is fu**ed.
Now they can run 4 at a time and they won't move.
Simple mill job, but strong results
