- Continuous flow cryostat for microscopy/spectroscopy
Sample in vacuum
The microCRYO102 is a compact continuous flow cryostat. A cooling agent (liquid helium or liquid nitrogen) is transferred from a storage dewar through a vacuum isolated transfer line to the heat exchanger. The sample is mounted on the cold table of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger with the sample are placed into pumped out interior of the cryostat body. The cold table arrangement is positioned within the copper shield, cooled by outgoing cryogen flow. The sample temperature is controlled by a temperature controller unit tSTAT310xc. The electronic unit forms a continuous flow of cooling agent from the dewar, controls the power of the electrical heater at the cold table as well as the flow rate of the cryogen by differential pressure regulator and needle valve opening in the gas-flow regulator set. The design enables the use of high magnification microscope objectives and secures the high aperture for the reflectivity measurements.
The sample-to-objective distance can be varied to meet optimal conditions for reflectivity measurements and microscopy. Modifications for transmission and reflection are available. The cryostats can be equipped by windows compatible to visible, UV and IR spectral regions.
The design of the cryostat enables rapid heating and cooling pocesses. Special design of the cold table secures low magnitude of vibrations and small temperature drifts. For electrical measurements the cryostats are equipped with a multipin connector. Cryostat can be equipped with a 0.2 T water cooled magnet for magneto-optical measurements.
