Sample in Vacuum - SHI-4 Series

Janis SHI-4 series cryostats are among the most versatile systems available for laboratory sample cooling. They are equipped with interchangeable optics, and include provisions for a wide variety of electrical connectors. Tapped holes on the vacuum shroud and a sturdy mounting flange provide for convenient mounting in any orientation.

Janis SHI-4 series cryostats are among the most versatile systems available for laboratory sample cooling. They are equipped with interchangeable optics, and include provisions for a wide variety of electrical connectors. Tapped holes on the vacuum shroud and a sturdy mounting flange provide for convenient mounting in any orientation.

These cryostats are designed for measurements to 325 K, and optional configurations permit operation to 500 K or 800 K (with special thermometry).
Optimized for experiments requiring optical access to the sample, these systems include the following components:
• Optical vacuum shroud and radiation shield
• Four o-ring sealed quartz windows
• Gold-plated OFHC copper sample holder
• 10-pin electrical feedthrough, with three spare electrical access ports
• Evacuation valve and safety pressure relief valve
• Silicon diode thermometer and control heater
• Easily removable window block with o-ring seal located just above the windows (SHI-4-2 and SHI-4-5 systems only)

Available options

• Additional electrical feedthroughs (BNC, SMA, multipin, and others)
• Rotatable vacuum shroud
• Rotation and positioning stages
• Matrix isolation configuration
• Fifth window port
• Radiation shield windows
• Specially modified window block with larger window as an option (SHI-4-x)
• IR and other window materials
• Custom designed vacuum shroud
• 500 K & 800 K high temperature systems available on most models (800 K with special thermometry)
• Non-optical configurations
• Compact vacuum shroud (for use with electromagnets)
• Large sample volume configurations

Standard models include
