Sample Shadow Analysis

The following analysis was performed in NX to determine the maximum angles between the payload samples and sun vector that can be achieved without shading the samples.

This analysis shows that the payload can be rotated + 21.3 degrees / -18 in the Y axis and +/- 22.8 degrees in the Z axis from the sun vector without overly shading the samples. (Assuming a 0.5 mm thick sample plate lid)
