This device is composed of two stretched mylar sheets with each sheet attached to one half of the mount. The diamond will be placed between the sheets. This advantage of this type of mount is that it will create very little stress on the diamond sample, preventing the sample from warping. This type of mount cannot be used in the final beam path at JLab because the high temperatures in the vacuum chamber (~500<sup>o</sup>C) will deform the mylar sheets.

In order to use this mount in the diamond analysis, the center area of the mylar must be sufficiently flat. To ensure this flatness, a large sheet of mylar (100 <math> \mu m</math> most likely 24" x 24") will be stretched over a drum with an 18" diameter. This
