Here is a picture of the APXS carried on the rover. Notice the screws around the rim? Notice the inner curve of the rim? Notice how the imprint matches?

The APXS is a "contact instrument" it is is pressed against the material it is analyzing.

I just did a quick experiment with a power supply and some coffee creamer.

The creamer was pretty coarse... I'm thinking dessicated fine powder in an extremely thin atmosphere would yield better results.

Please add your thoughts to one of the existing threads such as this one.

Thank you.
