Temperature Controlled Stage System
- Flexible range of operating temperature
- Digital temperature readout and control
- Adaptable to both LN2 and LHe
Systems
- Designed to customer specifications
A variable temperature controlled stage can
be installed in any of our nitrogen or helium dewars with a 5-inch or larger cold plate. LHe systems are controllable from 5K to 150K and LN2
systems are controllable from 80K to 325K.
The stage is cooled by a mechanical variable
heat switch and is warmed by a resistive heater. Control is provided by a
temperature sensor mounted on the stage and an external digital temperature
controller. The variable heat switch allows the sample to be controlled with
minimum power applied to the heater. Typical control is ±50 mK or better.
Temperature is read out to 100 mK.
Applications include:
- CCD cameras
- Laser diode
system
- Detector testing
- Materials testing
Flexibility in stage design
allows support for other applications.
