sample 43 salt crystals i glued them on a piece of black cardboard and moistened it so the crystals melted into one and didn't fall off. Texture is not completely homogeneous especially not at the edges so i use maximum zoom aperture: 11 parameters: p=19 l=171 z=360 zoom maximum some crystals fell off after calibration. because of the zoom it's hard to center this one position 2 not perfectly centered, hard to say position 6 and 7 were done the next day noticed at position 6 that theta value is slightly off, sample is not completely vertical when it should be, i'll check calibration parameters did not do sample calibration by clicking on pictures since the zoom is quite different. I have to adjust my program to that: first determine the size of the photometer spot by clicking on the millimeter paper.
