This is what the barrel of samples looks like
The samples are loaded on filaments (exactly like light bulb filaments) and then ionized using heat...you'll be hearing more about thermal ionization mass spectrometers (TIMS) in the next few days I'm sure. The samples in the photo with the holes in them are the most important parts. The samples that don't have the holes I only need moderately good data on.
Short day today...only 13 hours in the lab so far and it's looking like I'm going to be out of here in the next few minutes. Hooray!!

Congrats, yo. I'm psyched you're on your last round o'samples, hope they fill your life with glorious data.
