The THMS600 freezing-heating stage can be operated over a temperature range of -196 to +600°C. The specimen is mounted on a silver block in a gas-tight chamber, with entry/exit pipes for liquid nitrogen.
The THMS600 freezing-heating stage can be operated over a temperature range of -196 to +600°C. The specimen is mounted on a silver block in a gas-tight chamber, with entry/exit pipes for liquid nitrogen. The heating element is cast into the silver block to form an integral assembly. A larger housing, with X, Y translation controls to allow a larger area of the specimen to be viewed. The standard sample holder provided allows the sample to be moved by approximately 16mm.
The LNP95 cooling system (AGL4480) provides precise control of liquid nitrogen flow and enables specific stages to be controlled at linear cooling rates as fast as 100°C/min or as slow as 0.01°C/min. The ultra efficient use of liquid nitrogen ensures that a day of cooling experiments can be achieved using just a two litre Dewar. The LNP95 has two proprietary pumps inside that are automatically controlled by the T95 controller. A cooling system consists of the control unit housing the pumps and a two litre Dewar.
The T95 temperature controller is a complete system providing high precision and stability temperature control for Linkam stages. The T95 can be programmed with up to 100 different temperature ramps. Connectivity is via a USB2 port for faster data transfer along with faster data sampling of up to 20 times per second. The T95 temperature controller can also be supplied with the standalone touch sensitive LinkPad controller. The T95 supports a number of optional features, dependant on the stage type, including control of precision stepper motors, vacuum levels, displaying data from high resolution force transducers, humidity and gas sensors. The optional LINK DV imaging system provides synchronised image capture and temperature ramping as well as live streaming of digital video.
