  Title: Line drawing of STS-34 middeck experiment Polymer Morphology (PM)
  Description:
  STS-34 middeck experiment Polymer Morphology (PM) and its apparatus is 
  illustrated in this line drawing.  Apparatus for the experiment, developed
  by  3M, includes a Fournier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, an
  automatic  sample manipulating system and a process control and data
  acquisition  computer known as the Generic Electronics Module (GEM). 
  STS-34 mission  specialists will interface with the PM experiment through a
  small,  NASA-supplied laptop computer that is used as an input and output
  device for  the main PM computer.  PM experiment is an organic materials
  processing  experiment designed to explore the effects of microgravity on
  polymeric  materials as they are processed in space and is being conducted
  by 3M's Space  Research and Applications Laboratory.
