-Starting material:

-{{:​dac_experiments:​mite-olivine.jpg?​200|}} 
-Laser cut in a slice of recovered sample coated with platinum 
-</​WRAP>​ 
-  * Fine starting material should be hot-pressed in a piston cylinder apparatus, at high pressure an high temperature,​ in order to produce a cylindrical sintered sample of few cubic millimeter. 
-  * The recovered sample should be cut in fine slices using a diamond saw or a wire saw. 
-  * The slices should be polished down to 10-15 µm thickness. ​ 
-  * Both sides of the slices should coated with 100 nm of platinum. 
-  * In each slices, 20 to 50 µm diameter samples are cut with a femto-second laser.

-Diamond anvil cell loading: ​ 
-  *   A laser-drilled rhenium foil is used as gasket. ​ {{ :​dac_experiments:​sample.png?​200|}} 
-  * Dry MgO fine-grains are squeezed between carbide seats in order to produce 5-10 µm thick flakes that are employed as pressure medium. ​ 
-  * The sample is placed at the center of the gasket hole between the two MgO layers.
