Advanced Furnace for microgravity Experiment with X-ray radiography (AFEX). A multi-user image furnace with the capability for in-situ observation using X-ray radiography. A sample placed in the focus of a gold-plated ellipsoidal mirror is heated and melted by radiation from a 1500 W halogen lamp. Alternatively, isothermal heating of samples can be carried out using ceramic heaters placed around the sample. AFEX is allocated the entire resources of Materials Science Rack 2. 2, record 1, English, - advanced%20furnace%20for%20microgravity%20experiment%20with%20X%2Dray%20radiography
