Abstract:
A Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrocopy (LIBS) system ( 2 ) for the analysis of a sample pellet ( 12 ) of a consolidated granular material retained in a tubular container ( 20 ), the system ( 2 ) comprising a laser source ( 4 ) configured to emit a pulsed laser beam ( 6 ) towards an exposed surface of the sample pellet ( 12 ); and a sample station ( 18 ) configured to hold the tubular container ( 20 ) with the sample pellet ( 12 ) orientated to present the exposed surface towards the pulsed laser beam and comprising an actuator configured to slide the sample pellet ( 12 ) along a movement axis out of the tubular container ( 20 ) and thereby present a portion of an outer surface ( 10 ) of the sample pellet ( 12 ) previously constrained by an inner surface of the tubular container ( 20 ) as the exposed surface.

Claim (Index 1):
A Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrocopy (LIBS) system ( 2 ) for the analysis of sample pellet ( 12 ) of a consolidated granular material retained in a tubular container ( 20 ), the system ( 2 ) comprising a laser source ( 4 ) configured to emit a pulsed laser beam ( 6 ) towards an exposed surface ( 46 ) of the sample pellet ( 12 ); and a sample station ( 18 ) configured to hold the tubular container ( 20 ) with the sample pellet ( 12 ) orientated to present the exposed surface ( 46 ) towards the pulsed laser beam ( 6 ); wherein the sample station ( 18 ) comprises an actuator ( 32 ) configured to slide the sample pellet ( 12 ) along a movement axis (M) out of the tubular container ( 20 ) and thereby present a portion (P) of an outer surface ( 10 ) of the sample pellet ( 12 ) previously constrained through contact with an inner surface ( 42 ) of the tubular container ( 20 ) as the exposed surface ( 46 ).
