Abstract

The latest developments in acoustic technology and their integration of standing waves offers the potential to eject and trap tiny amounts of both liquid and solids with precision and stability in free space. This is appealing for experimenters at Light Sources who are traditionally relying on the use of containers or on the manual attachment of the samples to solid supports for analysis with X rays or IR. Here we present a brief overview of applications of acoustics and levitation for sample manipulation and delivery currently under investigation at Diamond Light source.
