pendular/swinging test tube holder Explanation: Your guess seems right and my answer tries to fit in with that. I could imagine a centrifuge-like device that contains these parts. Cheerio, Dierk |

pivoted / floating / oscillating / pendulum sample holder Explanation: (TU Dresden,Technical and Engineering Dictionary; Fachwörterbuch Chemie u. chemische Techik:) Probehalterung = sample holder ---- Sample holder is more likely to go with a polishing process than is a test tube holder or centrifuge. (ibid.; DeVries-Herrmann; Technical & Engineering Dictionary; Ernst, W. der industriellen Technik:) Pendel- can translate as pendulum…, oscillating…, pivoted …, floating… etc. and presumably relates to a mechanism to assure the desired contact between the sample and the polishing material or surface. --- An English Web search in AltaVista or Northern Light of +“sample holder” +pendulum or the other terms in succession may yield a definitive hit concerning the modifier. |
