MFK2-FA Kappabridge (JR Pmag lab)
Introduction
This Quick Start Guide is intended for scientists to quickly get started measuring the Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) on discrete samples with the MFK2-FA Multi-function Kappabridge. For bulk magnetic susceptibility measurements and for more details on frequency- and field-dependence of AMS measurements, the user is referred to MFK2 Multi-function Kappabridge User Guide.
Getting Started
Selecting a sample holder
In addition to the manual sample holder, there are two holders for automatic AMS measurements (Figure 1):
- 1-axis rotator, also called 2D classic holder - sample is measured in three positions
- 3D rotator - sample is measured in one single position
The 3D rotator should not be used for samples with a low susceptibility.
