Dear Isogeochem List, Are there any computer controlled micromill systems that people are using where the sample can be mounted vertically (such that the drill comes from the side) so that gravity can be used to help collect the powdered sample? I am pretty sure I ran across a website for such a system but now cannot seem to find it. Thanks, Kevin ___________________________________________ Kevin G.
