The capsule began its return to Japan a few moments ago as I write this. Seems like a good time to start a new topic for the much-anticipated final results of this epic mission.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Even for just running a mass spect sample, there are a whole slew of mass spectrometry experiments that can be run. Each can give you different levels of information.
direct injection MS HRMS GCMS (gas chromatography on front end) MS-MS Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Mass spectrometry and probably a whole bunch of new mass spectrometry techniques that haven't been mainstreamed yet. I don't know how they would divide the grain, but I bet there are a lot of instrumentation labs that would love to analyze even a tiny bit. And each technique might find new information. -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
