Gatan Cooling Stages

Features:

• Beam sensitive materials are stabilised under high beam currents

• Low-temperature phases can be studied

• Enhanced imaging and spectroscopy, especially for cathodoluminescence (CL)

Liquid nitrogen cooling stages C1001, C1002, C1003

• Simple installation/removal allows use of standard SEM stage

• Stages cooled to less than -185 °C by nitrogen gas

• Efficient thermal design ensures rapid cool down and stable temperatures

• Accurate control through integral heater and temperature sensor

• External liquid nitrogen heat exchanger removes vibration due to boiling of LN2

• Higher upper-temperature options for more flexibility in experiments

Liquid helium cooling stage CF302M

• Specially designed low drift and vibration, while minimizing liquid helium consumption

• CF302M is a helium-cooled stage module that attaches onto the existing stage

• Complete system includes flexible transfer tube storage vessel, top fitting with bladder and valve, gas flow controller, gas flow pump, and digital temperature controller

Dual fuel option

• Allows liquid helium cold stages to be operated with either helium or nitrogen

• Functions by forcing cold nitrogen gas through the circuit similar to the successful C1002 product
