Liquid nitrogen cooling stages C1001, C1002, C1003
- Simple installation/removal allows the use of standard SEM stage
- Stages cooled to less than -185 °C by nitrogen gas
- Efficient thermal design ensures rapid cool down and stable temperatures
- Accurate control through integral heater and temperature sensor
- External liquid nitrogen heat exchanger removes vibration due to boiling of LN2
- Higher upper-temperature options for more flexibility in experiments
Liquid helium cooling stage CF302M
- Specially designed low drift and vibration, while minimizing liquid helium consumption
- CF302M is a helium-cooled stage module that attaches to the existing stage
- Complete system includes a flexible transfer tube storage vessel, top fitting with bladder and valve, gas flow controller, gas flow pump, and digital temperature controller
Dual fuel option
- Allows liquid helium cold stages to be operated with either helium or nitrogen
- Functions by forcing cold nitrogen gas through the circuit similar to the successful C1002 product
