Vacuum & Thermal Chambers

Stage-top vacuum chamber

The stage-top environmental system enables to measure samples up to 40 mm diameter within a temperature range from -196°C up to 350°C (depending on the model selected) and at a vacuum down to 1 μbar.
Ultra low temperature experiments can be carried out with virtually no gas, no humidity, or air contamination of the sample.
It is possible to first pull a vacuum and then bleed in the desired gas.

This system is compatible with all our manual and motorized stages.

Stage-top vacuum and thermal system

Environmental chamber for large samples

The V400 environmental structure enables to measure samples up to 100×100 mm within a temperature range from -20°C up to 120°C at a vacuum of 1 mbar.
Low temperature experiments can be carried out with virtually no gas or air contamination of the sample.
It is possible to first pull a vacuum and then bleed in the desired gas.

A 100 x 100x 38mm motorized stage is included inside of the vacuum chamber.

Specifications

  • Vacuum down to 1 mbar
  • Thermal stage : -20°C to 120°C
  • Feed-through with 32 pin connector for user needs
  • Sample size : max 100×100 mm
  • Minimum objective working distance : 3 mm
  • Chamber size : 400x400x400 mm

Included in the system :

  • DHM® column with a manual vertical adjustment range of 250 mm
  • Motorized stage with controller, feed-through, and cables. Sample displacement range 100x100x38 mm
  • Pump, filter, and pressure gauge, and related connections and feedthroughs

Ease of use

The upper flange has a large diameter of 250 mm and can be easily removed. Dismounting it enables to use the DHM® instrument normally when vacuum is not required.

  • Top-flange with 2mm-thick window and 40mm clear aperture
  • Transparent Plexiglas front door for convenient visualization of your sample
