The PTAL set-up for MicrOmega described
We have recently published a science paper in the journal Planetary Space Science describing the laboratory set-up that we have built in Orsay thanks to the PTAL project.
This is the set-up that has been used to characterize all the PTAL samples with MicrOmega, it keeps the flight spare instrument in a safe environment and enables us to bring the instrument and the samples in cold conditions, better for the analysis and closer to Martian conditions. You can see a picture of the set-up below and an example of one sample analysis.
Don't hesitate to have a look at the paper if you want more details, the article is in open-access and available there: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0032063320303007
