GOLD SAMPLES

Caption

Eight gold samples, four per panel, prior to assembly of the panels into a "stripline" target for Sandia National Laboratories' Z machine. There they were vaporized by the enormous pressures produced by Z's 20-million-ampere current pulse. This arrangement will permit four measurements, one for each pair of samples in which one pair is on each panel at the same position .
