For Macroscopic optical applications
Continuous flow cryostats: The Optistat® range of products has been specifically designed for macroscopic optical applications by providing large sample space and excellent optical access. The base temperature requirement for your experiment will determine, to a large extent, the choice of the cryostat cooling technologies and sample space environment.
Choose from the following:
- Continuous helium flow cryostat, sample in exchange gas (OptistatCF)
- Continuous helium flow cryostat, sample in vacuum (OptistatCF-V)
- Integral nitrogen reservoir cryostat, sample in exchange gas (OptistatDN)
- Integral nitrogen reservoir cryostat, sample in vacuum (OptistatDN-V)
- Low vibration variable temperature cryostat, sample in exchange gas (OptistatSXM)
- ActivelyCooled(or Cryofree) optical cryostats, sample in vacuum (OptistatAC-V)
Cryostat with integrated helium reservoir:
The Variox is an integral variable temperature insert and helium reservoir cryostat, with interchangeable tails and inserts…
This cryostat is also compatible with the HelioxVT(He3 system) and KelvinoxVT( Dilution refrigerator) inserts giving access to mK temperatures.
Window choices
A wide range of window materials may be fitted to all Optistat cryostats.
