ST-500 Microscopy Cryostat
Janis
The Janis ST-500 continuous flow cryostat has been specially designed for use in microscopy, imaging, and high spatial resolution photoluminescence. The combination of low thermal-expansion support structure and internal vibration isolation results in nanometer scale vibration and drift levels. The cryostat geometry offers a short working distance (for use with high magnification optics), and permits mounting on common microscope stages and translators.Standard Configuration
The ST-500 system includes a flexible high-efficiency variable flow cryogen transfer line. This line delivers liquid helium or liquid nitrogen to a two-stage heat exchanger and sample mount. The ST-500 is portable, easily mounted in a variety of configurations, and can be used both in transmission and reflection geometries.Other configurations
• Ultra-compact• Options for micro-spectroscopy techniques
• Nano-positioning stages from attocube
• Sample extension for magnetic measurements
• Breakout box accessory for electrical measurements
• Ultra high vacuum
• Superconducting magnet for high resolution microscopy
• Micro-manipulated cryogenic and vacuum probe system for chips, wafers and device testing
Options include
• A variety of window materials and sizes• Interchangeable sample mounts for different sample thicknesses
• Magneto-optical system (including optional rare earth magnets)
• Electrical and RF feedthroughs
A complete system solution including temperature controllers, pumping systems and storage dewars
Looking for a cryogen free option for your existing ST-500? Optional Recirculating Gas Cooler eliminates the use of Liquid Helium for "wet" systems. Learn more (Recirculating Gas Cooler RGC4 information).
